Touch your heart or let your heart be touched, you will discover how much warmth and gentleness is there, how much space.  This feeling turns into a longing to be fully human.  It turns into a longing to be there for friends in trouble, and to be of real help for our planet.

Imagine your heart center is a crimson child within us.  It is hard to bring out this child as we have built up many defences against it.   This child represents the time when our energies were whole and our hearts were untroubled by the duplicity of the world and ourselves.

Keep your mind from wandering, when it does gently bring it back.  You will find by practicing this often, it will begin to wander less.  Deal with most vital matters by letting events take their course, step back from your mind and understand things by letting go.

Energy that is renewing itself must be allowed to reinforce itself by rest.  The return of health after illness, the return of understanding after estrangement, both must be treated tenderly and with care at the beginning so that the return may lead to flowering.

Quote: If you neglect what is nearby in hopes of what is far off you will be thwarted.
