Compassion is desperately needed for times like these, but it is also incredibly challenging for us as humans to even show compassion to those we love and care for sometimes, so getting to a place where we can show compassion to those who have hurt or killed loved ones is a lifelong journey. But I think it’s a challenge worth taking on. Does anyone want to join me in taking some time for lovingkindness meditation this week?

May I be peaceful.
May I be happy.
May I be well.
May I be safe.
May I be free from suffering.

May all beings be peaceful.
May all beings be happy.
May all beings be well.
May all beings be safe.
May all beings be free from suffering.

Just out of curiousity, are you someone I know or did you just randomly find me? You seem pretty cool and we have many of the same interests.

I feel like that’s sort of the way I think of “praying” for someone – I just never put it in those words before :)
