Loving-kindness
only for those who can be exhausted
In the generous sprinkling of,
The qualities that glory,
At the highest in this world,
Loving-kindness remains forever,
It is not just,
Patting on your pet’s head,
Or giving an ice cream,
For your boyfriend,
The feeling is extremely,
Beyond those boundaries,
It is a nourished tree,
Whose branches are high,
Up to the sky,
Be loving-kind when somebody is angry with you,
Just defend, but don’t hit back,
When your neighbour hits you,
All can abominate,
When they are hurt by another,
But think! Everybody can’t,
Be the sacred who is loving-kind,
Whatever the situation is,
It is not that easy,
But strive,
And feel the real essence of loving-kindness,
Your mind will generate,
What is called,
“The inside ecstasy”,
Spreading the indeed loving-kindness,
Can be taught,
By only one phenomenal person,
In this world,
And I’m not the name revealer,
If you follow the right way,
You will see the person.

Religious Freedom Granted in 1978
What traditions are you most thankful for and why? Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts 1. Enormous Gratitude for the return of religious freedom for American Indians in 1978. The same year I got into recovery. That year I could smudge, go into the sweat lodge, attend full-moon ceremony, pipe ceremony, wiping of tears ceremony, and others.

This is a beautiful reflection emphasising that loving-kindness goes beyond simple acts of kindness.
