love in practice


“If you do not know how to take care of yourself, and the violence in you, then you will not be able to take care of others. You must have love and patience before you can truly listen to your partner or child. If you are irritated you cannot listen. You have to know how to breathe mindfully, embrace your irritation and transform it. Offer ONLY understanding and compassion to your partner or child - This is the true practice of love. ” Thay

Last night I became irritated. I thought of my own feelings. I stopped listening. 

Today, I choose to take care of myself through the practice of love and patience.

Blessings of Peace and Love,
Preston
