For What It’s Worth
This week’s home practice:
Each day this week, purposefully choose one simple act of kindness (a text, a smile, a word of encouragement) and offer it without expectation of return. As you do, silently affirm, “This seed matters.” Trust that your small gesture contributes to the greater good, whether you see it blossom or not.
