May I feel safe and at ease
May I be at peace

simple 2500-year-old Buddhist meditation that builds loving kindness ;~)

It's Friday. That is reason enough to be happy. You can read this blog, be happy that you have the gift of sight.

Take a walk outside today. Enjoy listening to the magnificent symphony of flowers.
Hear the birds of summer calling attention to themselves in glorious color.
Dare to hear the things you normally see and see the sounds that beacon your attention as you travel around during your day.
