Dear Ones,
It can feel so difficult to see beyond the chaos and cruelty that surrounds us.
I invite you to consider this pearl from a Washington Post story today:
"...someone who worked with the Dalai Lama... said gently that they both believed that when a lot of difficult and chaotic things were going on all at once, it was to protect something fragile and beautiful that was trying to get itself born."
And ask ourselves, "what am I so fearful of losing, of being destroyed, that could drive me to engage in such extreme actions?"
With gentleness and compassion, open to your honest response. Then, ask yourSelf if you're willing to let go of this fear and open to Trust, not knowing what the outcome will look like.
Then restπ
