We need love. For ourselves, for others, for this world, so mired in violence and rage and hate. Love, to both give and receive. Love as feeling and as action. Love is light, the antidote to darkness that separates and harms.
Love is our essence and source; we are mentally healthiest when we feel love and live in alignment with it. We need love.
Beautifully held. Love as antidote, light returning, kindness beginning within. This feels like exactly what the solstice — and our weary hearts — need.
Thank you for the loving peace. May you and your family be filled with comfort in your grief, joy in your family traditions, and peace in the new year 🌲💜
Love as antidote feels especially true here—not as sentiment, but as a steady practice of returning to ourselves and each other. This feels grounding in the best way.
Thank you Deborah for this lovely reminder. I used to belong to a group (part of Professor Otto Schaefer’s MIT Presencing Institute). Ronelle Langley leads the group (centered on Mental Health). She ended all of our zoom meetings with this wonderful meditation. You have resurrected it from the cobwebs of my mind. Thank you. Happy and Healthy New Year Dr Vanill to you and yours!
Lovely just lovely
