When we choose other’s needs first, with no promise of personal gain;

When it’s easier to leave, and we choose to stay;

When anger is the default, and we choose to forgive ourselves instead;

When ambivalence is easy, and we choose to engage;

When judgement seems certain, and we choose a new perspective;

Then, and only then, have we arrived at the Heart of the matter.  All matter matter’s – may we strive to find our heart.  We are thankful.  Blesséd Be, and Amen.
