The world will always show us reasons not to love.

The news headlines will always find reasons for us to fear.

Once you begin to see clearly, you can’t help but to notice injustice and betrayal all around.
You notice the ways people hurt one another, and cause separation despite our common humanity.

And you could easily decide to shut down, saying, “No more. I’m done.”

But that’s not freedom.
That’s armor.

The great teachers loved despite it all.
They loved because they recognized who they were, and who you are, and who we all are together.

Loving anyway is not naivety.
It’s fierce trust in what your heart knows.

Honor does not die because it was betrayed.

Compassion does not fade because it was misunderstood.

Kindness does not weaken because it was not returned.

When the world breaks your heart, that does not mean your heart was wrong.

It means it was alive.

And an alive heart will always be more powerful than a protected one.

The work is to not let the burdens of the world close you.

The work is to not let the hardships of the world harden your heart.

The work is to not withdraw your care simply because life is difficult.

The work is to become gentler and more compassionate despite the troubles plaguing the planet.

That is true strength, and that is what begins to turn the tides to love.

Dear ones,

We spend so much of our lives trying to keep what we love from slipping away—people, moments, youth, comfort, control. Yet every tradition reminds us that to truly live, we must learn how to die.

The Buddha called this remembrance maranasati—mindfulness of death. It is not morbid or despairing; it’s the opposite. It wakes us up.

Once, at a retreat, a student asked me, “How can I make peace with the fact that everyone I love will die?”
I said, “First, see that it’s already happening.” Every breath is a letting go. Every sunset, every passing season, is a small rehearsal in surrender. To make peace with death, we have to practice making peace with change itself.

When we face death honestly, life becomes luminous. In hospice rooms and at the bedsides of the dying, I’ve witnessed more love, clarity, and presence than in most boardrooms or parties. As people approach their last breath, what matters simplifies: Did I love well? Did I live fully? Did I learn to let go?

Sometimes the most powerful death teaching comes not through words but through quiet grace. I once sat with a woman named Margaret, who was dying of cancer. Her breathing had grown shallow, but her eyes were radiant. She whispered, “I’m not afraid. It’s all love. I just didn’t realize it before.”
That realization is what every spiritual path points to. The end of the body is not the end of love. Love is the fabric that holds it all.

When we live with this remembrance, we stop postponing our life. We stop waiting for everything to be perfect before we offer our heart. We see that each encounter, each breath, each act of kindness is a moment of return—of coming home to what is eternal within us.

The great teachers say that at the time of death, we hear an inner voice calling, “Oh nobly born, remember who you really are.” That same voice is whispering now, in the midst of your busy days. It invites you to let go, to love completely, to awaken to the vastness that holds everything.

You don’t have to wait until the end. You can begin today—with one breath, one bow, one act of letting go.

Because in truth, the Great Return is already underway. Every falling leaf, every quiet goodbye, every act of love is a small rehearsal for freedom.

Metta,
Jack Kornfield

LESS IS MORE
~ Doc Rish

Less shopping,
More experience

Less noise,
More silence

Less bingeing,
More resting

Less overtime,
More time with family

Less stress,
More calm

Less control,
More letting go

Less chasing after what’s missing,
More appreciation of what is here

Less doom scrolling,
More learning

Less complaints,
More gratefulness

Less sitting,
More movement

For when we learn to embrace the LESS,
We gain more LIFE.

“Psychotherapy is effective, helps reduce the overall need for health services and produces long-term health improvements, according to a review of research studies conducted by the American Psychological Association.”

The American Psychological Association (APA) conducted over “50 peer-reviewed studies on psychotherapy and its effectiveness in treating a spectrum of health issues and with a variety of populations, including children, members of minority groups and the elderly.

Key findings of the resolution:

✅ Research demonstrates that psychotherapy is effective for a variety of mental and behavioral health issues and across a spectrum of population groups. The average effects of psychotherapy are larger than the effects produced by many medical treatments.

✅ Large multi-site and meta-analytic studies have demonstrated that psychotherapy reduces disability, morbidity and mortality; improves work functioning; and decreases psychiatric hospitalization.

✅ Psychotherapy teaches patients life skills that last beyond the course of treatment. The results of psychotherapy tend to last longer than psychopharmacological treatments and rarely produce harmful side effects.

✅ While medication is appropriate in some instances, research shows that a combination of medication and psychotherapy is often most effective in treating depression and anxiety. It should also be noted that the effects produced by psychotherapy, including those for different age groups and across a spectrum of mental and physical health disorders, are often comparable to or better than the effects produced by drug treatments for the same disorders without the potential for harmful side effects that drugs often carry.”
