Sometimes it's so hard to bear witness to everything that's been happening around us lately.
And, and, and —
I am so often heartened by the creativity, kindness, unabashed generosity and silliness I see when I open social media.
Please, honor your feelings,
grieve,
stomp, wail, journal til your hand cramps,
and respect your anger.
Because that will keep your spark alive.
Feel it, express it, move it.
And remember that your spark contains it all —
the depths of pain and sorrow,
as well as the eruptions of glee, tender warmth, and generous (and boundaried) compassion we will continue to offer to those who may not "deserve" it, by karmic standards.
And when I see people who are fully alive,
it reminds me of my own wholeness,
it evokes tears of gratitude for my own little existence.
Your aliveness is a mirror that helps me connect to my own deeper experience.
Because we are inherently relational creatures.
We help each other,
and we hurt each other.
And we heal each other.
A quick reminder that I'm doing another in-person workshop on April 18th in the Pearl in Portland.
Please come join us as we breathe, soften, practice presence and engage in joyful conversation and connection with each other.
Regulate + Relate, round two!
