NURTURING OURSELVES
As adults, we begin to cultivate a sense of loving-kindness for ourselves-by ourselves,
for ourselves.
The whole process of meditation is one of creating that good ground, that cradle
of loving-kindness
where we actually are nurtured. What’s being nurtured is our confidence in our own
wisdom, our own
health, and our own courage, our own goodheartedness. We develop some sense that
the way we are-
the kind of personality that we have and the way we express life-is good, and that
by being who we are
completely and by totally accepting that and having respect for ourselves, we are
standing on the ground of warriorship.
