landing on the
higgins stairs
May all beings be happy.
May they live in safety and joy.
All living beings, whether weak or strong,
tall, stout, average or short,
seen or unseen, near or distant,
born or to be born,
may they all be happy…
As a mother watches over her child,
willing to risk her own life
to protect her only child,
so with a boundless heart should one
cherish all living beings,
suffusing the whole world with
unobstructed loving kindness.
