I've always believed that we must 'live' our practice

I've always believed that we must 'live' our practice. That we must engage the fullness of this life with willing heart. To act courageously where fear may otherwise impose.

As well, 

That we must act with genuine loving kindness -- for others as well as, for ourselves. 

That's the challenge sometimes, now - isn't it? To act with the same sense of faith and compassion, as we so willingly allow of others. 

Though, even with the best of intention - we often forget ourselves; lost in the continuous shifting of pace.

We give so much of ourselves to others, though -- what steps have been taken to obviate our own pain? 

Sometimes, I wonder if we don't feel 'deserving'? Or rather, unwilling to accept the grace of relief?

But, we are all so very much 'deserving', my loves. And that which we choose to share to this world, is available also for our own 'use'.

So long as we may believe...

So long as we may choose.

And so, on this day -- my darlings, I choose for you.

I choose faith, hope, love and compassion. I choose a heart path filled with a limitless joy.

In peace...
