The Coyote Exchange

Rob Brezsny, one of my favorite authors and divine messengers asks, “Have you ever been loved so deeply and so much that you have become jaded about
the enormity of the grace it confers?”
Let me remind you: To be loved is a privilege and a prize equivalent to being
born. If you’re smart, you pause regularly to bask in the astonishing
knowledge that there are many people out there who care for you and want
you to thrive and hold you in their thoughts with fondness.

Animals, too: You have been the recipient of their boundless affection.
The spirits of allies who’ve left this world continue to send their tender
regards, as well. You are awash in torrents of love.

Children, too:  It’s one thing to have your grandchild love you because you’re family – it’s another thing to be loved because you’re his ‘best friend’.

As tremendous a gift it is to get love, giving love is an equal boon.  Many scientific studies demonstrate that whenever you bestow blessings on other people, you bless yourself.
Expressing practical compassion not only strengthens your immune system and bolsters your health, but also
promotes self-esteem, enhances longevity, and stimulates tranquility and even euphoria.

Blessings and Thanksgiving wishes you all and your ‘loved’ ones.
