Letting Go

Mira made this and took this picture.
It reminds me to take a deep breath and let go.
hope you like the quote below!!
love,
Michele




"The energy we need is not fear or anger, but the energy of understanding and compassion. There is no need to blame or condemn. Those who are destroying themselves, societies, and the planet aren't doing it intentionally. Their pain and loneliness are overwhelming, and they want to escape. They need to be helped, not punished. Only understanding and compassion on a collective level can liberate us."
— Thich Nhat Hanh in The World We Have

Lovefilled Namaste to you :)
I came across your beautiful blog, thanks to Cyrus. I must say i am feeling a bit bad for being so late in appreciating what a lovely blog you have!!
I absolutely loved this quote by Thich Nhat Hanh and i have always admired him. Its actually Love and Compassion which is the deepest human desire and we all crave for it.

Please keep up this good work and continue writing, the world really needs souls like you :)
