Bring awareness into the present moment by noticing your next three breath cycles

“It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality.
It’s really a wonder that I haven’t dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out.
Yet I keep them,
because in spite of everything,
I still believe that people are really good at heart.”


Wishing you heartful moments this evening

Kind hearts are the gardens, kind thoughts are the roots.
Kind words are the flowers, kind deeds are the fruits.
Take care of your garden, and keep out the weeds,
Fill it with sunshine, kind words and kind deeds.
– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
