An August Moment

A passage for he or she who gives love, has love, wants to share love, are receiving love and in need of some good love.

I AM THERE FOR YOU

The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence.

When our mindfulness embraces those we love, they will bloom like flowers. If you love someone but rarely make yourself available to him or her, that is not true love.

When your beloved is suffering, you need to recognise her suffering, anxiety and worries and just doing that, you already offer some relief.

Mindfulness relieves suffering because it's filled with understanding and compassion. When you are really there, sowing your loving-kindness and understanding, the energy of the Holy Spirit is in you.
