Most of us have gotten at least a little emotional at some point recently. It’s natural. But why do we have emotions and how much should we pay attention to them on any given day? Can we learn to skillfully choose which emotions to listen to and which ones to just let move on by?

Breathe in peace and love while listening to this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "Folding Alter", by James Crews.
Folding Altar, by James Crews
I carry my church with me
wherever I go, unfolding the altar
of a moment while out walking
with my husband, pausing to pick
a few dandelions gone to seed,
taking a deep breath, then blowing,
sending those silver messengers
into the air above a field,
each one the seed of a prayer
I say every day I’m alive:
Please let me give up all hope
for a better past, and just be here
by the side of the driveway,
watching wisps of clouds turning
pink with evening, then purple,
and listening to the complex solo
of a catbird perched in a maple
as we say goodbye to the light
which may leave the sky tonight
but will stay with us, flickering
for years to come.
—James Crews
(Explanation from James Crews: I love the concept of a folding altar, one that we can carry with us wherever we go, no matter the circumstances, opening in each new moment. This early summer time feels so poignant to me, with things already going to seed even as so much has yet to bloom, reminding us of the never-ending cycles of life and renewal in the natural world.)
