I remember a sentence in one of Buddhist teacher Tara Brach's videos that helps me when I'm frustrated or overreacting: "The mind creates the abyss; the heart crosses it."
Thank you! George Mumford, on a Buddhist teacher panel in a webinar I watched early in the pandemic, gently interjected during the event: "There's really just one essential question: What would love have me do today?" For some months I began my day with it. Now I'll try it again! [I too keep a favorite quotes file and an Insights file--admittedly they often overlap!]

I love this and have entered it into my "favorite quotes" notebook. Thank you for sharing it, Louise!

I am so into starting the day with that question--I may try that, myself!
