Exactly. And as Bonnie said about 9/11, "Someone has to hold the joy."

Patty, read the text. Your message is a beautiful description of the spiritual journey of humans which is what daily practice fosters. Nearly every day I remind myself of my spiritual teacher’s advice to “watch yourself” moment to moment; your thoughts, sensations, and reactions/actions within yourself for true transformation - a challenging and ongoing process of evolving towards fulfilling our human potential. This is what your valuable insight and teaching inspires. Thank you!

I love this, the whole seeming paradox of what it is to be “messily human” of seeing all the pain, chaos and division again this morning and yet still walking the dog and painting a door frame.🙏x

Hi Beverly, I love that you say the "seeming paradox"! Maybe a paradox is not even really a paradox! Thank you for that.
