We believe in the power of mindfulness practice and compassionate action to transform our hearts and the world. This is a time to re-ground ourselves in the deepest values we cherish about the infinite worth of all people and the interconnection of all beings. We have a unique opportunity to use the energy of mindfulness to direct our anger in wise and skillful ways in these soul-stretching moments. May we find the courage to listen deeply, to discern wisely, and act boldly in these soul-stretching times.
