​​"THE HEART'S HARVEST: IT STARTS WITH EMPATHY"

​

At this time of year, farmers are busily harvesting what they have planted, hoping for an abundant yield. We, as the farmers of our own lives, often too take stock of what we have created over the year. Typically, we are looking at our “external yields”: what we’ve accomplished at work, how much money we’ve earned, how much we’ve exercised, what trips we’ve taken … in other words, what we’ve DONE.

 

This month, we invite you to explore your “internal yields”, what we’re calling “The Heart’s Harvest.” What have you awakened to more fully in yourself? And what COULD we be awakening to? This Sunday, we’ll focus on empathy and how it connects to other virtues of the heart —kindness, generosity, gratitude, and others—that will be woven throughout the month’s talks. These are the harvests that truly matter!
