"Having compassion starts and ends with having compassion for all those unwanted parts of ourselves. The healing comes from letting there be room for all of this to happen: room for grief, for relief, for misery, for joy." ~ Pema Chodron

"Be kind to yourself, dear - to your innocent follies.
Forget any sounds or touch you knew that did not help you dance.
You will come to see that all evolves us." Rumi
May you treat yourself with deep unconditional love all day!
21 Days of Turning Inward: Day Twelve
Your two questions:
How would I feel this word in my inward experience? How could I feel, sense, think, and dream it?
How would I act this word out in the world? How could I make it visible to those around me and create it tangibly in my life?
I'd love to hear some of your responses in the comments, if you are feeling brave!
See you tomorrow; until then may you dance freely between your inward experience and the outer world!

And I would love to hear how you've decided to bring the experience of your second word into your life! You can share in the comments below, or email me at innerlightasheville@gmail.com.
Quiet friend who has come so far
Quiet friend who has come so far,
feel how your breathing makes more space around you.
Let this darkness be a bell tower
and you the bell. As you ring,
what batters you becomes your strength.
Move back and forth into the change.
What is it like, such intensity of pain?
If the drink is bitter, turn yourself to sweetness.
In this uncontainable night,
be the mystery at the crossroads of your senses,
the meaning discovered there.
And if the world has ceased to hear you,
say to the silent Earth: I flow.
To the rushing water, speak: I am.
~R M Rilke
See you tomorrow!

“One regret, dear world, that I am determined not to have when I am lying on my deathbed, is that I did not kiss you enough.” — Hafiz
