Our Greatest Longing Is To Be Intimate.

Most Of Us Need To Be Reminded That We Are Good, That We Are Lovable, That We Belong. If We Knew Just How Powerfully Our Thoughts, Words, And Actions Affected The Hearts Of Those Around Us, We'd Reach Out And Join Hands Again And Again. Our Relationships Have The Potential To Be A Sacred Refuge, A Place Of Healing And Awakening. With Each Person We Meet, We Can Learn To Look Behind The Mask And See The One Who Longs To Love And Be Loved.

Meditation Helps Us To Get Out Of Our Thoughts About The Future And Really Be In The Present Moment.

Take Moments To Savor What Is Beautiful And Good.

The Mistake We Make Is That When We're Feeling Another Person Is Not Treating Us In The Way That Makes Us Feel Secure And Loved, We Fixate Our Attention On That Person And What's Wrong With Them. We Also Fixate On What's Wrong With Us. Instead, We Can Bring Forward Two Wings Of Awareness: The Wing Of Mindfulness (noticing What's Going On Inside Us) And The Wing Of Kindness (compassion To What's Going On Inside Us).

As I Noticed Feelings And Thoughts Appear And Disappear, It Became Increasingly Clear That They Were Just Coming And Going On Their Own. . . . There Was No Sense Of A Self Owning Them.
