Life’s heart needs are often distilled down to very basic concerns

The first Tuesdays with Tenzin post is here!!!

Life’s heart needs are often distilled down to very basic concerns: love, communication, understanding, care and cultivating happiness.

This can be fulfilled in good living: health, wealth, happiness, communicating and feeling gratitude, appreciation, love, and acknowledgment.

As a hospice chaplain, I came to realize these basic needs at life end were like simple joys. There was no need or time anymore to split hairs on differences, arguments, philosophical, theological, or political views. It made a tremendous difference to the patient and family that they felt heard, appreciated, and content at end of life.

As we consider our simple joys today, please contact a friend or relative you’ve been thinking about, reach out and acknowledge them for the special place they have in your life.🦋

May you celebrate simple joys every day!
