"Our sorrow is in equal measure love. We only mourn what we deeply care for. 'Blessed are they that mourn.
In speaking fear, you also show the trust and courage it takes to speak it, in a fear-phobic society.  
The anger we express has its source in our passion for justice. 
Our emptiness is to be honored, too. To be empty allows space for the new to arise."  ~ Joanna Macy

What about the horse you came in on?

Thoughts and souls


Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts: Those are the daily attention-grabbers that make it so that you can’t come from your mind to your heart to your soul. The soul contains love, compassion, wisdom, peace and joy, but most people identify with the mind. You’re not an ego. You’re a soul. You’re not psychologically full of anxiety and fear. Soul doesn’t have a fear of dying. Ego has a very pronounced fear of dying.  Ram Dass
