Ed. Notes: A Message for these trying times that ends (I hope) Wednesday and for whatever follows.

“NEVER GIVE UP"

No matter what is going on

Never give up
Develop the heart
Too much energy in your country

Is spent developing the mind
Instead of the heart
Be compassionate

Not just to your friends

But to everyone
Be compassionate
Work for peace

In your heart and in the world
Work for peace

And I say again
Never give up
No matter what is going on around you

Never give up”
― Dalai Lama XIV
