During difficult times like this, I'm feeling that the most important thing is our love for each other and remembering to express that and avoid the temptation to get caught in negative and aggressive thinking. Instead of polarizing, this is a chance to stay with the groundlessness. I've been meditating and getting in touch with a deep and profound sadness. It's hard to stay with that much vulnerability but that's what I'm doing. Groundlessness and tenderness and sadness have so much to teach us. I'm feeling that it's a time to contact our hearts and to reach out and help in anyway we can.
