On mettā
For change is the only constant
And that change is a constantly
Changing changelessness
To accept your limited freedom is
To test the limits of its bounds
To doubt your doubts is to know
That the only way to find out
Is to go all the way through
To notice your separateness
Is only a perceived absence
Created by what is always present
To not separate good from bad
For it is the act of denial that
Creates the desired and undesired
Because all happenings form a unity
And are as it were spun together
Hey, I'm Myron
Designer and founder of Mettā.
I'm on a mission to help people live more intentionally. The very word intention (from Latin intentio) means a "stretching to", to aim at something. Even at our noblest, we want to get to something; whether to improvement, or love, or strength, or security. Hope and optimism are what drive our human spirit to survive and transcend. Faith is embedded in our neurons and in our genes. I believe that everyone has the power to transcend themselves waiting to bust out and fulfil their destiny here on Earth.
Framed as mettā bhavana-esque suttas, mettā cards are simple, bite-sized, actionable reminders that you can use to break out of old ways of thinking. In creating them, I drew on my experience as an information designer and meditator to design better intentions steeped in practical wisdom. They extend traditional wisdom with contemporary ideas from and across cultures and societies, with a sprinkling of some useful mental models.
Our apps
mettā cards are free, open-source, and online — forever. This site is where they are published. Our apps let you take mettā cards with you for when you need them.
metta.cards
The whole deck in your browser. Draw a card and turn it over, or open the deck and read straight through it. Install it to your home screen and it keeps working once you have opened it, even when you're off the grid.
Mettā on Apple Watch
Our Apple Watch app lets you wear wee mettā cards on your wrist even when you wander far and away. Link the watch to a free metta.cards account to keep your favorite cards with you. Linking is optional; everything else works without it.
