sun1.jpg…”if you feel irritation or depression or despair, recognize their presence and practice this mantra; “Dear one, I am here for you.” you should talk to your depression or your anger just as you would to a child. you embrace it tenderly with the energy of mindfulness and say, “Dear one, I know you are there, and I am …going to take care of you,” just as you would with your crying baby.”

– Thich Nhat Hanh
