“This is a dark time, filled with suffering and uncertainty. Like living cells in a larger body, it is natural that we feel the trauma of our world. So don’t be afraid of the anguish you feel, or the anger or fear, because these responses arise from the depth of your caring and the truth of your interconnectedness with all beings.” WorldFeelsHumansBodySufferingFearNatureNaturalDarkConnectionsAngerFilledResponseDepthCaringTraumaAriseCellsUncertaintyOur WorldAnguishConnectednessInterconnectednessDark Times Book:Pass it On: Five Stories That Can Change the World Source: Pass it On: Five Stories That Can Change the World
“We are capable of suffering with our world, and that is the true meaning of compassion. It enables us to recognize our profound interconnectedness with all beings. Don't ever apologize for crying for the trees burning in the Amazon or over the waters polluted from mines in the Rockies. Don't apologize for the sorrow, grief, and rage you feel. It is a measure of your humanity and your maturity. It is a measure of your open heart, and as your heart breaks open there will be room for the world to heal. That is what is happening as we see people honestly confronting the sorrows of our time.” PeopleWorldFeelsHeartSufferingHumanityWaterRoomsGriefCompassionBreakTreeCryMinesSorrowCapableHappeningsProfoundRageHonestlyHealBurningMaturityOur TimeOur WorldApologizingAmazonHeart BreakConfrontingOpen HeartInterconnectednessTrue Meaning Author:Joanna Macy
