Let the flower of compassion bloom

In the soil of kindness.

Tend it with the pure water of equanimity

In the cool shade of joy.

Contemplation of the Week - Gentle Reminder

As you go about your day in the weeks to come, when you wake up, when you’re sitting down to meditate, or just going about your day, take a moment to bring to mind a quality of the path that you might be experiencing, or that you would aspire to embody. Check yourself. You could ask yourself, “Am I feeling grounded, tamed, contented, open, inspired, connected, tender, kind, compassionate...?” If you find such a quality, how wonderful! If not, encourage yourself gently. This kind of curious inquiry and gentle encouragement is the best way to stay in contact with our intention and our aspiration for the path throughout the day.
