A question I ask myself often

here’s a question I ask myself often…

Where can you take accountability?

If we remember that at the very core essence of all of our beings that we are entirely one of the same, we can exhale deeply, knowing that what I am you also are, and what you are I also am. Like individual rain drops that meet in the immensity of the ocean…we all make up the grandeur of reality; here and now.

What I have felt, you have also felt in your own unique and personal way. What you have felt, I have also experienced in my own way.

Pain.

hurt.

Loneliness.

heartbreak.

Pride.

Loss.

Magic.

Inspiration. 

Wonder.

Wisdom.

Opportunity.

Nostalgia.

Excitement.

Anxiousness. 

Panic.

Amazement.

Pleasure.

Love.

Reluctance.

Dispair.

Peace.

Anger.

Resentment.

Frustration.

Joy.

We have all experienced our own wondrous and challenging ways of being human thus far, and so, we will continue to do so…

And what I find to be one of the most important “lessons” as a human here on earth school, is to find compassion for the human experience—compassion for myself in all that I feel, and compassion for others in what they are feeling, with a deep remembrance and continuous reminder that while we are all to be witness to each and every one of these feelings, and more, what is true is that we do not experience all of these emotions at the exact same time.

In times where I am in joy another may be in deep pain and sorrow. And on days I feel alone another may feel extremely connected and loved. We are the same, and yet, we experience humanity in our own very unique ways, on our very own timelines. 

So, if you feel open to hearing me today, my hope and wish is for each and every one of us to find an ounce extra of compassion, for ourselves and others, remembering that we all feel many of the same ways….at different times.

And sometimes, we feel the same at the same time. And that is an invitation not only for compassionately seeing one another but also graciously holding space for one another in a container of mutual and timely understanding.

Wherever you are right now, I hold space for you, I see your light, and I know that you are deeply loved—and never ever alone.
