I was just on a Zoom call with Russell Delman, founder of The Embodied Life.  There were people from Spain, France, Sweden, Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Ireland, and Switzerland on the call.

Russell emphasized the soft power of an Open Heart.  The theme was on how we can be moved by the power of a poem. A poem can build our immunity and give us strength to pull out of the rabbit hole of fear that a few are creating to disempower us.  In this, we connect.

The heart is about courage, and we good human beings will not be trapped in this web of fear they’re spinning. Kindness wins, and begins with us being kind to ourselves, and ripples out like rings from a rung bell.  

Read the Thich Nhat Hanh poem “The Good News” which begins:

The good news

they do not print.

The good news

we do print.

The poem concludes with:

Leave behind the world of sorrow,

of preoccupation,

and get free.

The latest good news

is that you can do it.
