“You’ve been through fire, and now you carry water for others.”

~ Caroline Middlelsdorf

a bodhisattva is someone who vows to work endlessly to end the suffering of others & of this world. bodhisattvas can only do this because they have also been transforming their own suffering. we have the capacity of heart & sacred potential to meet our pain with open-heartedness, tenderness, & warmth – which is to say, love – transforming our own suffering, so we may be a benefit to others & this world. if the saying is true, “hurt people, hurt people” then it is also true that healed people, heal people.

right now, we are seeing a lot of people with unprocessed sadness, pain, & anger transmitting that hot energy onto & towards harming others, rather than transforming it within themselves. those who have not faced their own demons, see demons in everyone else. also, there are those with power who are & will seek to manipulate that towards their own selfish end goals. please don’t be played. instead – open to & embrace the alchemy of love available to us, & rise from the ashes of pain & suffering as bodhisattvas embodying the love & healing this world needs.
