Barbara Boryshenko has a wonderful Daily Book of Miracles and describes February First as a time to turn towards compassion. First for ourselves and then for the other and then the rest of the world.
The Metta Prayer can be recited for ourselves:
May I know love,
May I know peace,
May I come to know the light of my own true nature.
May I be healed,
May I be a source of healing for all living creatures.
and then turned to others:
May you know love,
May you know peace,
May you come to know the light of your own true nature.
May you be healed,
May you be a source of healing for all living creatures.
and the world:
May the world know love,
May the world know peace,
May all creatures come to know the light of their own true nature.
May all creatures everywhere in every time be healed.
Lovingkindness is a practice we all could use right now.
