Choosing To Be the Open, Clear, and Gentle Space That Transformation Arises From

I love this one. Yes, there is so much grief that can be acted out in ways that harm rather than heal, and for decades and generations and millennia, when it is suppressed and denied. And there is so much to grieve.

I’m reminded of the wise words of Francis Weller — “The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them.”

It is indeed through the doorway of our tears that our hearts strengthen, that we experience deepening gratitude and our sacred interrelationship with all of life, that we awaken and grow our capacity for love and compassion, and that we evolve and transform our fragmented selves into the greater wholeness of who we truly are.

May we inspire each other to live courageously, compassionately, and with ever increasing whole-heartedness.

“Our greatest strength lies in the gentleness and tenderness of our heart.”
