Let The Heart Be The Skin
God loves his creation more than a mother loves her child.

Look at your wrist, see the bluish veins? The blood flowing through them contains hemoglobin, a protein that has four iron atoms incorporated into its structure. Iron is only produced in one place, it can only be forged in the core of dying stars.
…remember that you are built from, and kept alive by, pieces of stardust.

Maybe it’s the animalness that will make the world right again ; the wisdom of the elephants, the enthusiasm of the canines, the grace of the snakes, the mildness of the anteaters. Perhaps being human needs some diluting.

Ironically, the changes and deaths we experience in life do us much more good than harm. Nevertheless, we always make a big drama out of everything, especially the changes we label as “bad.” So learn to enjoy and appreciate life instead of going around things you have no control over.
~ Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche

…Once burning off the atmosphere of self-interest, there’s a tenderness that never goes away.
