Going through the days, one thing to another, and not finding words for this space.
Always with « bodhisattva » in mind. Then find these words from Thich Nhat Hanh:
« When we come into contact with the other person, our thoughts and actions should express our mind of compassion, even if that person says and does things that are not easy to accept. We practice in this way until we see clearly that our love is not contingent upon the other person being lovable. »
That’s enough for now.
What’s enough for now?
