Metta is the Answer

Dear friends,⁠

⁠It doesn't really matter what the question is.⁠

⁠The answer is metta,⁠

⁠lovingkindness,⁠

⁠this cultivation of the boundless warmth of the heart.⁠

⁠Not a sticky love,⁠

⁠but a kind of teflon love that needs nothing⁠

⁠because it's full already,⁠

⁠full of goodness,⁠

⁠full of care,⁠

⁠self-care, caring for others,⁠

⁠it doesn't matter,⁠

⁠metta doesn't make those distinctions,⁠

⁠there is just this boundlessness⁠

⁠this big open sky⁠

⁠that is full of sun⁠

⁠and warm, warm, warm,⁠

⁠warming everything everywhere⁠

⁠everyone everywhere.⁠

⁠what could ever be missing in a state like this?⁠

⁠may you be well,⁠
devon
