Yoga Sutra I.33,
”Consciousness settles as one radiates friendliness, compassion, delight, and equanimity toward all things, whether pleasant, unpleasant, good, or bad.”
which addresses the brahmaviharas, as saying, “By cultivating attitudes of friendliness toward the happy, compassion for the unhappy, delight in the virtuous, and disregard toward the wicked, the mind-stuff retains its undisturbed calmness.” Satchidananda says that these qualities are the four keys to establishing the mind in serenity: “If you use the right key with the right person, you will retain your peace.”

me good vibes today so I can stay
alive through every
possible nerve ending of my body and soul
my mind is going
to get a kickstart
as I breathe this cool
thrill of painfully cold
air
where is my warmth
I just added some love to my soul…. you should too~
“Now, Redbird isn’t a band. It’s more like a treehouse, or maybe like Andy Griffith’s front porch in Mayberry: smiling white people trading old tunes on flat-top guitars, people who probably just ate a really good supper and one of them is hiding a pint of something behind a chair leg.”
