The Humility, Kindness, and Love walks united people from all walks of life as they fostered a simple yet powerful message through the Tower District and the Art of Life Healing Garden in Fresno. At every step, our inner values resonated with the hearts of onlookers, creating moments of genuine connection and contemplation throughout the areas. In Tower District, a group of performers sang beautiful lyr- ics embodying our inner values, grounding us in the present mo- ment, untouched by thoughts. To close both walks, everyone closed their eyes, sat in the pres- ent, and lovingly sang, "I am humility, I am kindness, I am love," creating a lasting impact on everyone's hearts.

- WHEN OVERTHINKING BECOMES TOO MUCHThe reason overthinking and in- trusive thoughts drain your ener- gy is because no one explained the language of the brain. The brain doesn't understand what you like or don't like. It only understands what you en- gage with. So when you react to thoughts "I don't like these thoughts, they're so mean, they hurt me, why do they keep com- ing?" the brain doesn't register that you dislike them. It only sees that you're engaging. To the brain, it's like you're play- ing with those thoughts, so it assumes you enjoy them.
- Page 10Growing up, I often heard about Mother Teresa and her embodiment of HKL. Her love for all from the rich to the "poorest of the poor”. Recent- ly, I have found a deep sense of meaning in learning more about her remarkable journey. Mother Teresa devoted her life to serving others selflessly, she saw the light in everyone. She didn't wait for recognition or applause; she quietly gave ev- erything she could to help others. She was born on August 26, 1910, in Skopje (now North Macedonia) as Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. Mother Teresa was devoutly raised Albanian who felt a religious calling at age 12.

THE BREAD AND THE JAM: A LESSON
FIERCELY OK SONG CIRCLES
KINGSTON, ONTARIO, CANADA
ON LOVE
As we wake up, we slowly start feeling love in our heart area for everyone. That is what this HKL movement is all about, recognizing and realiz- ing our potential and our true selves: humility, kindness, and love. HKL is about working on ourselves; once we become peaceful, only then will there be peace in the world.
A beggar was sitting as some- one was passing by. The pass- erby stopped and asked him, "What do kindness and love mean to you?"
Because he was a beggar, he replied, "Sir, I am very hun- gry; if I could just have a piece of bread."
The man went to a nearby bak- ery and brought back bread with jam on it.
We can shout loudly that there should be no wars, but we can was sung at this gathering was another original by Paul Bar- ton called, "Know them in Re- turn," and it goes like so:
The Fiercely OK song circles continue to take place Tuesday evenings and Friday mornings at the Kingston Community House at 99 York St. Many of the group members had birthdays that just passed or were right around the corner. To celebrate, the group sang a unique and beautiful birthday song called, "Another Trip Around the Sun" written by Heidi Wilson:
The Big Trees Know us The Little Trees Know us The Creeks and the Rivers too, The least we good-hearted people could do Is know them, in return
This song came about after Paul's heartfelt conversa- tion with an Indigenous elder who spoke of the sacred bond that human beings share with nature. Paul was inspired to write something that would allow for the singer and the listener to experience that deep connection. The song is a fill-in-the-blank song and the word know was replaced by love, hug, and call, in every iteration of the song.
On the day that you were born, 000 000 000
You were not the only one 000 000 000
Bugs and birds and bees emerging too
But you're the only one who sings like you
So sing sing on another trip around the sun
The beggar, who must have been somewhat awake, said, "The bread which you gave me is kindness, and the jam which you put on it is love."

Would those people listen to that voice? No. The wars will remain until we change. The outside is just a reflection of our inside."
"Whatever we do everyday, we must make sure that our heart is in it. In the heart, love should be there. Kindness can exist without love, but that kindness is light. Once love is there, however, it transforms the act. We cook, but if the cooking is done lovingly, that is both kindness and love. As we start waking up, you will feel pure love within you.
