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.

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 ROSE OF HKL:
NURTURING THE HEART'S INNER GARDEN
I used to look for peace in the world around me, waiting for the right circumstances to feel whole. Yet, I didn't realize I was standing in a garden that had been waiting for me to ar- rive for lifetimes. Through the movement of Humility, Kind- ness, and Love (HKL), I dis- covered that true beauty isn't found, it is mirrored from the Divine light pulsating within my very being.
Ever since I have been in- volved with the global move- ment of HKL, I have found myself reflecting deeply on the essence of these virtues and how I can truly embody them. Often times during med- itation, I visualize these words floating before me, entering my very being. As I focus on humility, kindness, and love I feel their presence in my heart and melt deeper and deeper into contemplation. As I let these words enter my heart center, I feel a flower ready to sprout and blossom. "Is this it?" I wonder. Is this the flower of HKL that has always been see it. Even with my eyes open, I feel this flower of HKL pulsating within, radiating its tender and holy fragrance. The subtleness of the flower leaves a trail wherever I am, connect- ing me to the very Source of Life itself.
within me not outside, but within waiting to be nurtured, tended to, and given attention and care? My heart whispers sweetly, "These virtues are you, your True Self."
As I feel this flower, it feels as if its petals are beginning to lovingly open. My attention is the water, soil, and nour- ishment this rose has always needed to be seen and flour- ish forth. I wonder, "Has this flower of HKL always been here?" Yes, always. A reali- zation strikes me powerfully that beyond these labels of my name, my relations, my occu- pation, who I am is truly so beautiful. If all this is stripped away what remains are His countless virtues; who I truly am is a Divine being of infinite love and light my True beauty.
This flower unveils a profound secret: the more connected I am to my inner world, the more beautiful and loving the outer world is. Humility, kindness, and love exist in all hearts; they are the rhythm of the soul. When I stay with this rhythm, everything is beauti- ful. My inner world is full of pure bliss and an indescribable stillness through which my soul operates. The more in- tently I stay connected to my inner flower with conscious presence, the more peaceful I feel. Life becomes a celebra- tion a gift from the Divine. I see His beauty reflected back to me through every interac- tion I have, and every word I speak, aware that I represent my Divine Beloved. All life is a reflection of my interior, As I emerge from meditation, I can feel the lingering fra- grance of this flowering rose. To my surprise, the flower didn't go away it came to life! Perhaps it was always there, yet I didn't have the eyes to
and the outside is a mirror of my inner landscape. If I wish for the world to be kind and loving, it must begin with my inner journey.
Ultimately, this flower illumi- nates a sacred truth: these vir- tues are not something I need to 'become.' They are who I am. I am humility, I am kind- ness, I am love.
Now, with folded hands and head bowed in reverence, a heartfelt prayer for all human- ity is sent out.
"May the rose of humility, kindness, and love blossom in all hearts, and may its fra- grance make the world peace- ful and a loving world in which we all laugh, smile, and truly celebrate life together as One family of the Divine."
