🌺 Loving-kindness is not something we force to have—it’s what naturally arises when we remember that every person we meet carries the same tender hopes and fears we do.

 

It’s the gentle wish that others might be happy, might be safe, might be at peace—not because they’ve earned it or deserve it by some measure, but simply because they are alive, just as we are, doing their best to navigate this beautiful and also difficult world.

 

When we practice loving-kindness, we’re not pretending everything is perfect or ignoring real harm. We’re simply choosing to meet each moment, each person, with as much warmth and care as we can offer—knowing that kindness doesn’t diminish us, it expands us.

 

May loving-kindness flow freely from your heart today—to those who are easy to love, and to those who challenge you, to strangers whose paths briefly cross yours, and most tenderly, to yourself.
May you and all beings be well, happy, and at peace.

🌅 A Morning of Serenity – Day 80 (1/13/2026)

 

Not long after we left Great Falls this morning, we encountered this beautiful scene—a serene lake with mist floating gently on its surface.
In moments like these, nature reminds us of the peace of mind. Quiet. Still. Peaceful. Beautiful.
