Heart-Skills

We learn to Love when loving is more important than hating

We learn to Listen when listening is more important than speaking

We learn Peace when peace is more important than conflict

We learn Being when being is more important than doing

We give up suffering when we have suffered enough

Then, we say YES! to Life,  and Life says YES! to us.
