I'm sitting in the stuffy, warm loft waiting for the night's cool air to come drifting through and touch me.  The best thing about this day was that I gave joy and laughter to a crowd of people that I love.  It was a slideshow filled with memories of the last three years.  The most wonderful moment for me came when everyone laughed in unison and I realized what a unifying force laughter is.  A good number of the memories were triggered by events that I created, so there was a humble pride that swelled in my chest.  What an amazing thing it is to witness others' receiving of a gift. 

Tonight following my yoga practice, I will assume my meditative position, practicing meta-tation.  This is the sending of love.  First, it is to all of those that you love daily.  Then those whom I miss will follow.  Then I'll probably choose the victims of some plight which I am so fortunate to not be part of.  I will end with those who have hurt me- hoping that they still feel the love that I send.  In closing I will send the love that I hope to give, with gratefulness for the ability to love as I do.

And yes, although getting love is not the motive for giving it- it always come back to me.

Thank you.
