It can be hard to keep our eyes open to the suffering in this world. And yet, we are meant to stand with one another β to pray, to support, and to keep contributing to the creation of a better world ππ
Because there is so much pain, itβs easy to feel overwhelmed. We shut down, trying to focus more and more on the light. But in doing so, we risk turning away from those who most need our presence, compassion, and healing ππ»
Donβt look away, beloved.
β¨β¨β¨ When we open our hearts to the world β in both its ugliness and its beauty β the light flows through us, nourishing ourselves and the whole πβ¨β¨
Like the lotus, we can grow strong roots in the mud while simultaneously basking in the sunlight above. This is the middle way: serving with love while also tending to our own well-being πΈ
