“In a time of anger or despair, even if we feel overwhelmed, our love is still there.
Our capacity to communicate, to forgive, to be compassionate is still there. You have to believe this.
We are more than our anger, we are more than our suffering.
We must recognize that we do have within us the capacity to love, to understand, to be compassionate, always.”
~ Thich Nhat Hanh
There is love and hope beyond the fear.
Yes. Yes, there is. ❤️

Yes, Love. ❤ I tried to comment yesterday on your post, but it kept rejecting me, saying I wasn't signed in, but I was. Hope you get this. Have a wonderful day, Val!

I have used his book on anger so many times—such a great Teacher. I love how he doesn’t tell us to stop being angry or despairing, but just to remember there is more. Gentle, as always.
