The final installment of our early morning, post-meditation conversations about metta (loving kindness) from Portsmouth, NH, in the U.S. This was on the last stage of the meditation to develop loving kindness towards all living beings. A taking stock of what is implied in such an intention, and reflections on a week of intensified focus on positive emotion and the effects of that work. We also get to hear what a 'Texas Hug' is and learn via Seamus Heaney how to meet another person's confusion (and our own).
