Love Letter to the Earth

Understanding the Earth in this way, we can walk on the planet with as much respect and reverence as we would walk when in a house of worship or in any sacred space.

Anyone who cultivates love and offers a lot of happiness to others is a bodhisattva.

With awareness of the Earth’s generosity, we can generate a pleasant feeling.

Mindfulness and a deep awareness of the Earth can also help us to handle pain, difficult feelings, and emotions.

When you stop thinking and bring your mind home to the present moment, you can look deeply into the piece of bread and see this.

In order to enjoy our time together on this flight toward the future, we have to put on our seat belts of mindfulness that will keep us right here in the present so that we can experience life deeply each moment.

If we can acknowledge the fact that we’re suffering, then we have a chance to transform that suffering.

When we suffer we need love and understanding. We ourselves don’t have enough of these qualities, so when we suffer we try to find them outside ourselves.

We can take each breath and each step with awareness and gratitude.
