Thanks! I know you get it, Jena, the shift to who I am more than What I do. Here’s to more everyday!

Last night I watched a "Charlie Rose" with Rachel Naomi Remen. What I heard was about living with disease (dis-ease) and not being diminished by it (actually using it for a shift in perspective), and how our wounds can heal each other (wounded healers).

The concept of safety, or that feeling of not being safe has really presented itself to me recently. I am not very clear about what it actually means to me.

I did hear something that struck me as truth during a training with The Metta Center for Nonviolence, "Fear and anger can only occur with a sense of separateness."

These ideas are somehow useful to me as I "stumble" along.

Thank you for Your offerings. ❤️

Thank you Matthew. I’m often encouraging vulnerable people “you are safe” especially as they are transitioning from life into dying. A meditation I’m comforted by is focused on sending what I wish to people on my mind. The lines I use (which I’ve heard most recently with @Dan Harris ) are May you be happy, May you be safe, May you be healthy, May you live in ease. The part about being safe carries so much more weight for me now.
