Loving Kindness

Polychrome clay Tree of Life, Mexico

May you be filled with loving kindness.
May you be safe from inner and outer dangers.
May you be held in tender compassion for all your sorrows.
May you be well in body and mind.
May you find peace, and may you be free.

(words of meditation borrowed from Jack Kornfield)

“Free at last, free at last
I thank God I'm free at last
Free at last, free at last
I thank God I'm free at last…”
