I am so ignorant...I don't know so many things...

I just know that the suffering in this world is healed with souls like yours.

So thank you, thank you, once again and thousands of times thank you for being you, as you are.

Regarding your question...I don't know...maybe aren't we all...singing the same song...the song of existence?

Thank you so much, Forrest!

I do believe we all sing the same song, but the effort is in hearing the harmony of the billions of voices. It's precious that you do!

"Rather, it is revealed daily as we embody the expanse of our beings, recognising that we are meant to give ourselves to something transcendental, sacred, and larger-than-life, but to do so through the mundane, earthly, and modest. It means becoming a living sanctuary for ourselves and others, a safe and holy space for all forms of undoing and unraveling, and then mending and becoming whole again. It is expressed in the way we commit to kindness and openness, especially through the ordinary."

this is such a precious letter - thank you for allowing yourself to be

I sing a song with relaxed attention; with wonder and curiosity in what is here, now. The song attends quiet stillness, regardless of action or inaction. The title of the song is, "Who or what am I? Who or what is wondering and curious?" The lyrics are silence, open silence.

dear justyna,

thank you for sharing as always! this section really resonates:

"Jane Goodall, a renowned British primatologist, anthropologist, and environmental activist, is one of those people on the frontlines. Naturally, she often meets those who wish to contribute but don’t see a place for themselves. In relation to this, she once recalled, 'So many people have said to me, ‘What can I do? It doesn’t make any difference what I do.’ It doesn’t if it’s just you, but it’s not just you. So I think the important thing is realising that what you do, even if it seems small, cumulatively, millions of people making ethical choices is making a difference.'

If we all do our part, no matter how modest, change is possible. Our small hands have much to offer. The key is living intentionally, allowing what we can do to be enough, and developing an open yet still heart."

thank you!

love
