Perfecting the art of the living contradiction.

As we enter the 3rd week of quarantine...

...working from home, homeschooling, and all the other changes that have taken place in the past few weeks with the Corona pandemic, I hope we find some time to ponder these wise and beautiful words from my teacher and friend Bert Gunn. Basically, before we return to any kind of normal, Bert is asking us to think about the kind of "normal" we really want to return to:

"It is a good time to go inside and reassess our lives - where are we going, and where do we want to go? What is important to us now? What lessons can we learn from this challenge? How do we want to change our lives? What is our real core, and our true mission at this time?
I send these questions as an opportunity to look within. It is also very important to be really easy with ourselves in this stressful time. Find ways to rejuvenate and heal and love ourselves. Also a time to share the healing and love. When we give, it feeds us also."

Bert is an amazing human being, a wise teacher, social worker, plumber and true man of all trades. I met him at the sweat lodge about 8 years ago, and his calm voice and deep insight have brought me peace, clarity and comfort  ever since. 


Peace

Sunt de acord, este important to share the love. Poate reusim sa vorbim candva ca in felul asta distanta dintre noi si imposibilitatea sa ne vedm pt o perioada nedeterminata sa fie mai usor de suportat.
