Humans love control, yet they have very little of it. Do you see the paradox? You watch a storm create havoc and realize you cannot control the weather. You watch your headlines and realize you cannot control others’ choices. Is there anything you can control? The body will react automatically to threats and immediate stimuli. And then? Then comes the one thing you can control: Your choices after the initial reaction. You are always free to take a slow, deep breath and sink awareness to the place-state where peace is always and already here. Go here often. Stay here until you realize with relief that you are not only human.

You are so very loved.
