"Let a man overcome anger by love, let him overcome evil by good; let him overcome the greedy by liberality, the liar by truth!" ~ Buddha

Man, woman, elder, child - we each have the power to soften anger and overcome what weighs down our hearts.

Let's dare, with courage and compassion, to lean into love and hope now. Let's pause and consider how we react to things that upset and choose to respond with care.

That's what it takes. Little by little we can become more mindful; we can move closer to living the ideals in our hearts and the values in our souls.

It sounds easy. I know that it's not necessarily so. But it's good for our own health and happiness and for our harmony with others. Let's just do our best. 

With love,
Charlene
