Blessing for 2012
May everyone be happy and safe, and may
their
hearts be filled with Joy.
May all living beings live in Security
and in Peace –
beings who are frail or strong, tall or
short, big or small,
visible or not visible, near or far
away,
already born or yet to be born.
May all of them dwell in perfect tranquility.
Let no one do harm to anyone. Let no
one put the
life of anyone in danger. Let no one,
out of anger or ill will,
wish anyone any harm.
~
Metta Sutta (Suttanipata)

Before
things get too busy around here, I wanted to take a moment to send out a blessing
to all of us. Although it seems quite appropriate with the fast approaching New
Year, it is a blessing for all the days we share on this beautiful planet.
It
does not seem to matter how much wealth we have…or even how much health we have…if there resides no peace
within us - then even the greatest of treasures fall short. May you find, in
the quiet moments of this day, a place of perfect tranquility.
Peace,
Theresa
