Tara, thank you. I usually end my evenings with either a talk or meditation with you and it is a gift, You are a blessing.

[@AljaMr]

Thank you, Tara! I like starting my days with your talks… and sometimes I just listen, other times I go very deep and cry and feel my pain. At the moment your talks help me connect to that which I am trying to avoid… and I also love the idea of pausing! Pausing when in good and when in painful and hopelessness. Thank you for the openhearted help you offer with the talks. I can imagine it is lonely on your side- just you and the camera and the screen… but I am also there :-) I am grateful

This made me think very deeply about old things in an unfamiliar way that sparked many ideas. One of those videos where I feel like I need a pen and paper immediately!

I am deeply grateful for this talk. I had so many insights about myself and my state of mind listening to it. For 20 years I was living in environments that gave me little hope about the human capacity for kindness, honesty and decency. Then when this was over I did four one week retreats, a one month retreat at a center abroad founded by a teacher I had respected, and a 3 day retreat in Mississippi in which I met Tai in his yearly trip to the monasteries in the US, a rare gift. I also took a one week trip on a river with the Sierra Club and spent 12 days at a National Park. I was throughout this in a state of total anhedonia. My experience at the one month retreat showed me that the teacher I had so much admired was incapable of compasión. I had already noticed this when I had a private meeting during in a one week retreat. The resident teacher at the center seemed to be losing his mind and nobody seemed to realize he was not well. I checked out his talks in the library at the center from previous years and they were totally A year later another participant in the retreat with resulted in immediately jumping in with a judgement what was the use. For 9 hears since I have been in a state of hopelessness. I had been to several

Tara-your love, insight, wisdom, compassion, empathy, understanding-combined with your magnetic presence, are a source of inspiration, hope and reassurance to me and countless others. I love your sense of humour, I love your great heart and I love love love your discussions. Thank you. I feel so grateful for all your contributions and how you show up, no matter what you're personally dealing with, you have an ability to reach out and give kindness to others.

Hi Karen

[@aliflemming2661]

Thank you ! This is the most powerful talk, inspiring and so practical . It addresses my biggest fears ; climate change and its manifestations, social injustice and one political party which has no solution , no plan to combat real problems so it focuses on creating imaginary problems to distract. I want to be hopeful and inspire others to face the the reality of the situation but also offer hope and paths to doing what we can. I am so grateful for all your thoughtful, honestly , life changing work.

[@camirose3009]

Beloved Tara, it seems We share such a longing to help and be with community ~ How much Wholeness do we need in our own Hearts, 1st, before we are able to give real solid value to our Neighbor. Is is just the intent that’s needed ? I Thank God You are HERE 🖤

[@rogerlaro]

Thanks so much. I appreciate the energy, care and wisdom in all that you put out into the world.

Thank you for this. In less that four years I was directly impacted by events that became international hashtags. It has been a tough journey to find myself and happiness again. This talk has helped me a lot, along with reading your books. Many thanks to you for sharing your insights. Much love to you and those travelling the path to peace and understanding. ❤️🙏

[@mouna8007]

I love your words, and the way you share your thoughts.

[@sandideak4125]

I have to say that one of the ways I have felt cut off or severed is by the wearing of masks. It removes a person’s expression and smile. I have to look beyond it and focus on the possibilities of the joy and connection I can create in other ways. 💕

[@josephbrindley6038]

Hope, in my opinion, is a weak word like charity; remember Obama's Hope & Change? Never happened. How about "Faith" as a powerful word instead! Peace.

Use whatever word feels comfortable for you I suppose. 🙏🌸💟
