“We are part of a vast plan of life unfolding. When individual loss strikes, or there is a communal trauma, it is not a mistake. We have what it takes to endure it with courage. We can survive and grow strong, like the wild trees on mountain ridges that have weathered storms and become beautiful. With trust, we plant our seeds, tend them, and discover that although it isn’t possible to control the world, we can always care for the garden of our life.”
From Jack Kornfield, No Time Like the Present: Finding Freedom, Love, and Joy Right Where You Are (p. 42). Atria Books. Kindle Edition.
During these times of great change, I look toward a few sources for words of inspiration. Here are links to two articles you may find of interest:
Jack Kornfield’s article titled “Calm, Clarity, Compassion”
and
UpliftConnect, an Australian website devoted to Unity, Peace and Love in the Field of Transcendance. The article is “The Art of Dancing Through Fear”.
