Metta

In some parts of the Buddhist tradition there is a word, Metta, which represents undertaking to send feelings of loving-kindness in the direction of others.

Today this is my objective for all of the people who were touched so deeply the the 9/11 attacks 5 years ago.

Earlier today I saw a picture of a little girl who was observing a moment of silence at the ceremony in New York this morning. She had lost her mother- I believe the caption said her mother had been in the NYPD- on that horrible day. She looked to be around 10 years old.

My heart goes to her and to all who have suffered so cruelly over the last 5 years because of the heartless attacks on 9/11.

Metta,
