“How would love wash a dish? While standing at the kitchen sink, breathing love in and out of your heart, feeling outward to the moment’s open edge, how does your body rub the soapy sponge across the surface of each plate?<\/p>\n

How can you give your open heart-truth to your coworkers, even when you disagree with them? Should you smile, tell jokes, act efficient, touch them, or walk away and give them space? Day by day, practice unfolding love as your body’s skillful offering, from your deep heart outward to the moment’s open horizon.<\/p>\n

Knowing the truth is fairly useless; feeling it is profound; living it makes all the difference.”<\/p>\n

–David Deida, from “Naked Buddhism: 39 Ways to Free Your Heart and Awaken to Now.”<\/a><\/p>\n
