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?

Find compassion for yourself and those around you through this guided meditation led by Julie Potiker. She completes the meditation with the poem, "The Return of Hearts and Minds", by James Crews.
The Return of Hearts and Minds, by James Crews
I wake before dawn this morning
to live inside the quiet, to feast
on the dark bread of the possible.
The house breathes on its own, though
no footsteps stamp the floor above,
no doors slam shut, and nothing
stirs outside except for the masked
raccoon, hungry eyes glowing green.
I know who I am in these small hours,
and watch for signs that daylight is
finally coming, spreading like a blue
ink that brightens the sky instead of
darkening it. This early, I imagine
the hearts and minds of everyone
who gave them up the day before,
tossed out as easy as paper crumpled
on the floor, suddenly returned to them,
compassion flowing into each of us
like an IV drip, like fresh light meeting
our eyes with the chance to begin again.
—James Crews
