Grief plus compassion creates one hell of a colour outside those lines! Keep painting Terra! That journey from victim to creator, always ends up on the wings of love. Thanks so much for sharing. 🙏❤️

Thanks Jamie. I feel heart tingles.

A while ago, I learned that Compassion beats Sadness. Thank you for your writing.

Thank you. I am going to contemplate that. It feels in this moment that compassion comes from my heart and sadness is in my throat and has to do with wishing something was different. Perhaps compassion also involves acceptance (not complacency) with the present moment…?

The Buddha advised compassion, as he noted that everyone is suffering in the human condition.

As we age, we often fear, but I’m here to say that there WILL be another reality after we pass on.

Humans resonate their afterlife reality. I write about the scientific support for this process.

Peace and Health.

I came back to screenshot your earlier comment as I have been exploring this in my meditation more today. I feel bringing compassion to my sadness is part of the process. I have “Let it be” playing on repeat on Spotify and just sent the song to my Mom, who is in the hospital. There is a lot swirling, currently today around this theme and Mother Mary energy. I will screenshot this and will go check out your posts. Thanks you. ❤️🙏

I can’t tell you what I know about Mary, its fairly damning to the Renaissance ideas of a lovely Mother of Jesus. That never happened, Both Lovely Mary and handsome Jesus are artistic creations, in terms of looks. Both had Neanderthal DNA and were NOT divine in the Christian sense.

We are all divine in essence, but not in that religious way, which is a falsehood.

Thank you Alicia. We grow from it all don’t we? And for sure it is not always an easy journey.

I don’t see it and I understand. I am really glad this landed with you. Big hug.

Ah well, you can imagine, anyway. I did run into a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time. And we did the compassion without pity thing. Tears and laughter.
