A brand new day is before me.
May I be happy,
May I be peaceful,
May I be free from harm.
I aspire to live each day mindfully,
And look upon all beings
With the eyes of kindness and compassion.
May I experience ease of body, mind and spirit.
May you, and all other beings,
Be happy and free from suffering.
A universal lovingkindness prayer, known as a "metta" in Buddhism.
Happy May Day. We're at the halfway point between the spring equinox and the summer solstice.
There
are more holidays on May 1st than any other calendar day. In England, people would “bring in the
May” with the gathering of
wildflowers and green branches, the weaving of floral hoops and hair
garlands, and the crowning of a May king and queen.
I plan to bring in the May with an early visit to the garden center and something on the grill tonight. We have a beautiful warm weekend coming up. Be well and happy wherever you are.
