We see the disasters on our screens. Ukraine, Israel and Gaza are all inside us. If we are empathic and awake, we share the pain of all the world’s tragedies in our bodies and in our souls. We cannot and should not try to block out those feelings of pain. When we try, we are kept from feeling much of anything, even love and joy. We cannot deny reality, but we can control how much we take in.</i><div><i><br /></i></div>and this:<div><i><br /></i></div><div><i>Every day I remind myself that all over the world most people want peace. They want a safe place for their families, and they want to be good and do good. The world is filled with helpers. It is only the great darkness of this moment that can make it hard to see them.<br /><br />No matter how dark the days, we can find light in our own hearts, and we can be one another’s light. We can beam light out to everyone we meet. We can let others know we are present for them, that we will try to understand. We cannot stop all the destruction, but we can light candles for one another.</i><div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/11/opinion/love-light-winter-darkness.html" target="_blank">Loved this piece by Mary Pipher. </a></div></div></div>Meet Me In the Morninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09157084205868672107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709612770261795591.post-20122011411851859702023-12-21T19:56:00.003-05:002024-01-04T12:31:27.358-05:00Winter Solstice<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxOeMDxZ4juH8UJOL6wK-SAh9oYTlN5t_WAxKHWwv-DnpioKkm5jO5ePTCCu4t-DIsfviqW2pdxEezmgAZyWO-bpD30Z6ibvU_dmBDDwgWD-oY6waeVXOaK01BBNKp2PbFQ4tSqUlYtPZgurcXZmOiSruFPuCRuaHPLBoJDqDj22uaxltftlCeo0Nlz_w/s883/18b50e3c-ac13-4aa3-a88c-eb3d0277abdb_883x781.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="781" data-original-width="883" height="566" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxOeMDxZ4juH8UJOL6wK-SAh9oYTlN5t_WAxKHWwv-DnpioKkm5jO5ePTCCu4t-DIsfviqW2pdxEezmgAZyWO-bpD30Z6ibvU_dmBDDwgWD-oY6waeVXOaK01BBNKp2PbFQ4tSqUlYtPZgurcXZmOiSruFPuCRuaHPLBoJDqDj22uaxltftlCeo0Nlz_w/w640-h566/18b50e3c-ac13-4aa3-a88c-eb3d0277abdb_883x781.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">(c) <a href="https://brigitannamcneill.substack.com/p/happy-winter-solstice?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2" target="_blank">Brigit Anna McNeill</a></div><br /><div>You, darkness, that I come from</div><div>I love you more than all the fires<br />that fence in the world,<br />for the fire makes a circle of light for everyone<br />and then no one outside learns of you.<br /><br />But the darkness pulls in everything-<br />shapes and fires, animals and myself,<br />how easily it gathers them! -<br />powers and people-<br /><br />and it is possible a great presence is moving near me.<br /><br />I have faith in nights. </div><div><br /></div><div>– Rilke</div>Meet Me In the Morninghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09157084205868672107noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6709612770261795591.post-78842601744890610652023-12-18T06:07:00.006-05:002023-12-19T18:12:35.326-05:00Commonplace Book<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5tf3YG-VUKJgTp6TGEycOpK-WQzLzCzb71q5P4NvS_PTFGenEMYEWxUFhZqn6AMDgmkkOFlrIlZwBrDXPx6vqG4pGAB-j69rT6zn_Li5t4xKKYAv10DjPofzKvX2Sed5MuGU1lG1mImysFO3o5L-vYRTGssSoF9zeNfGtvQCgQxa-1hjQCjHyji5nP00/s1200/sophie.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="733" data-original-width="1200" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5tf3YG-VUKJgTp6TGEycOpK-WQzLzCzb71q5P4NvS_PTFGenEMYEWxUFhZqn6AMDgmkkOFlrIlZwBrDXPx6vqG4pGAB-j69rT6zn_Li5t4xKKYAv10DjPofzKvX2Sed5MuGU1lG1mImysFO3o5L-vYRTGssSoF9zeNfGtvQCgQxa-1hjQCjHyji5nP00/w640-h390/sophie.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"> (c) Sophie Blackall</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Yesterday, I learned about <a href="https://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/balzer_designs/2023/06/what-is-a-commonplace-book.html#:~:text=A%20commonplace%20book%20is%20a,a%20database%20than%20a%20diary" target="_blank">a commonplace book</a> – something I've been creating without even knowing it.
