it’s important to honor our feelings of pain & suffering, feelings of overwhelm, of fear, of loss & grief. we should meet these experiences & feelings that arise with the same warmth & tenderness that we would offer for a loved one. but when we are in the middle of extreme challenges & difficulties, our view can narrow & increase the intensity & weight of the emotions we are experiencing. so, it can be helpful to remember to take a wider view as well, both in regards to space & time. we can recall the stories from those who have been through similar & made it through. we can also bring to mind when we went through other challenges, even if smaller in scale & intensity, & how we also made it through.

the world is still spinning, we are still here with heart beating, breath cycling, surrounded by others experiencing similar on this journey. life continues to flow & so do we, together.
