We are ever concerned about what we eat and the condition of the body. Yet care for the mind brings spiritual health. It's a question of balance. Mind is the forerunner of all things. And happiness and joy will surely follow when we rejoice in goodness. If we lose hold of the Dhamma, then how can our ship leave the harbour? Though the currents of life – of the world – are huge, we persevere. Trust in purity of heart, kindness, compassion and wise awareness everyday, in all that we do. A loving heart opens to clarity of vision, peace and blessings for ourselves and for all beings. Sati Saraniya Hermitage, Nov. 23, 2021
