Don’t apologize for the sorrow, grief, and rage you feel. It’s a measure of your humanity- your maturity. A measure of your open heart, and as your heart breaks open there will be room for the world to heal. That is what is happening as we see people honestly confronting the sorrows of our time. We are capable of suffering with our world, and that is the true meaning of compassion. It enables us to recognize our profound interconnectedness with all beings.

~Joanna Macy

how I remember to not lose heart…

inquiry for today~ take good care of this life….

hope for the ages….

I slept and dreamed

that life is all joy.

I woke and saw that

life is all service.

I served and saw

that service is joy.

~Kahil Gibran
