To me loving-kindness is a wakeful meditation, a matter of being present in the world.
I think of it as throwing open the doors to my heart. I think of it as lowering a drawbridge over the moat of my ego, which allows me to be vulnerable, to let others in, practice compassion, and even allow myself to feel grief, and try to offer grace back out.”
– Terry Helwig
