Deborah, I really needed to read this post today. The US election, the Middle East, and Ukraine have taken up too much space in my thoughts lately. Your beautiful essay reminds me of the values I truly believe in. I found it calming and centering. With each sentence, I said a silent Yes. And I’m really glad you chose the present moment to publish it.
I'm so glad. That means a lot to me Andrew. I know a lot of us struggle with the dire news in the headlines. I have to remind myself of this all the time too.

I’m also really glad you included the Metta prayer at the end. It’s a favorite!
Yes! It's such a calming influence too.
Yes, may all beings be free of suffering! 💙
You inspire me to keep on with my writing—wherever it goes!
I'm so glad, Barbara! I'd love to read something you wrote. Maybe we can exchange our works in progress for feedback sometime.
Indeed! So glad to hear from you again, Barbara!
Thanks for restack, Russell!
