This past week has been a rough one. It has me questioning a lot of things. Mostly I wonder what makes us humans feel that killing other humans is the answer. Or worse, that killing other humans is simply something to do. It is easy to fall into fear when thinking about all of the violence happening around the world right now. And for a moment, I did. I was hurt, I was afraid, I was saddened, and I was bit angry as well. But I came back to meditation, I came back to my breath, and I came back to the reality that there is still kindness in the world. So, for this Monday's mantra, I would like to share the two affirmations that got me through the week:
Everything is gonna be alright
There is still kindness
These two mantras allowed me to see past the gruesomeness of the headlines and recognize that the world hasn't actually gone mad. So, in the spirit of that idea, I end this with one of my favorite "everything is gonna be alright" jams: Three Little Birds by Bob Marley.
