                                          May we be free from suffering.
                                          May we feel protected and safe
                                          May we feel intent and at peace

                                          This act of selflessness, of granting blessing on others and yourself,
                                          individuals and community, is a beautiful way to share loving-kindness
                                          among humanity.


                                          ~ Wishing you and your loved ones safety, love, and peace as you nourish
                                          one another and yourselves.
