You have the sweetest little family and I have seen the joy that Will brings to you, Neil and everyone else...your life is definitely full! And you're amazing! <br />--RachelRachel Buckleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02525412244243034447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275151610255619018.post-61903842290652877112012-02-24T10:03:52.967-06:002012-02-24T10:03:52.967-06:00Lori,
This is a beautiful post and a good wish. E...Lori,<br />This is a beautiful post and a good wish. Every morning when I do my meditation, I recite what is called the "four immeasurables." They are: <br />May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness.<br />May they be free from suffering and the causes of suffering.<br />May they always experience true happiness which is free from all suffering.<br />May they remain in the great equanimity which is without attachment and aversion.<br /><br />To me that is what peace is, "the great equanimity" where we are not in a struggle to cling to attachments or avoid things we don't like. SO difficult. <br /><br />Even though I am supposed to keep wishes general and wish for "all beings" my meditation goes a bit more like this:<br />May all beings have happiness and the causes of happiness (esp. the Martin family).<br />May they be free from suffering and the causes of suffering (esp. the Martin family).<br />May they always experience true happiness which is free from all suffering (esp. the Martin family).<br />May they remain in the great equanimity which is without attachment and aversion (esp. the Martin family).<br /><br />You are always in my thoughts. Big hugs to you!<br />XOXO<br />BBethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17898378794706476846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275151610255619018.post-38170806293175380242012-02-22T23:34:34.971-06:002012-02-22T23:34:34.971-06:00I'm right there with you...been a rough couple...I'm right there with you...been a rough couple of weeks for us too!~Jana~https://www.blogger.com/profile/04088846214344399951noreply@blogger.com
