Trying to make sense of my reality
John Amodeo wrote; “Embracing our human grief and sorrow can deepen our compassion and empathy for others. If we reduce everything that happens to us to unhelpful thoughts, we bypass our feelings and our humanity. We plant ourselves firmly in our heads rather than bringing our heart and soul to our human experiences — embracing the joys and sorrows of being alive and recognizing our felt connection with each other and with life.”
