“Without compassion, we will never know anyone or anything, not even our own story. Too much judgment, too many ideas and attitudes will stand in the way of the fundamental principle that we are similar to, connected with, and part of everything else.” - Deena Metzger
Too often, we see everything as black/white - good/evil. It flashes in an instant. Suddenly you're hit with a statement that throws you down and all you can think..."all of this is crap - what am I doing here - how did I get here - I wish it was over." Then the next moment you're riding a high - "wow life has never been this awesome". You walk around feeling impervious to whatever is going to strike next.
The real thing to look at....how much work you've put into your life - to get you here. When you rest on your heels and look around carefully - more often than not - you'll be amazed. No one has a white bread life. We can all rewrite our story. Not in a pollyanna ridiculous fashion - no - more like the intricate folds of origami.
