#metta
We begin with ourselves, a lofty proposition
Shifting this intention to the loves we have known, those who’ve shown us the way
We pass through gates of uncertainty and benevolence, arriving to meet the ones cast from our heart
Now sharing with all who surround us, and in the end all sentient beings in existence
With a fierce heart, your ever well-wishers
May you know boundless love
May you find relief of your burdens
May you break the chains

a chain as strong as its weakest link
each link close enough to feel the distance
still dreaming to be on the verge of touch,
reaching out out of reach
even a sturdy soul may falter
alone together hand to hand
a union the sum of its mindful grip
faith in the strength of love strong
the heart opens unconditionally
encompassing all that is in doubt
reaching out to strengthen
arm to arm
hand and hand
grasping love
the unbreakable chain-link
someone you used to know ... 2017

I sit and breathe
wishing peace, happiness, and freedom
for myself
I sit and breathe
slowly wishing out
to strangers, friends, enemies, and all beings
peace, happiness, and freedom
I sit and breathe
letting the metta grow
my heart expands just a little
as I sit here and now
with all my joys and sorrows
may I be at peace
may I be happy
may I be free from suffering
may you be at peace
may you be happy
may you be free from suffering
may all beings be at peace
may all beings be happy
may all beings be free from suffering

When a war goes on for too long,
Of what started it,
the parties will forget about.
This is an excellent time to figure out.
Why the hell you are fighting.
If the mind has proceeded,
Passed a certain point,
Realize that there wasn't
a point..
