On this earth, our beautiful blue-green home, with so many people living such diverse lives, there is both universal longing for happiness and universal heartache. The great song of humanity is this song of longing. We can feel personally this collective ache in our own hearts. Feeling this tenderness connects us with the world around us, the people around us. It is a great relief to know we are not alone in our hunger for happiness. Immersing oneself in deep loving-kindness is good food for the hungry heart. 

All are welcome to this evening meditation gathering. Food will be served around the fire, followed by a period of meditation and teaching.
