I think it’s becoming sadly easier to see the inhuman (inhumane?) among us. They’re the ones who don’t feel anything. Or refuse to. And sadest of all—they’re also the ones yielding power. Thank you Diana for being one of my readers—your engagement means a lot to me.
“Now is the hour of the Dark Invitation” says John O’Donohue” in To Bless the Space Between Us. The invitation to feel, loss or the shock of ill health. Better to experience it as you describe to get through to the other side. Wise words!
Thank you Daniel! O’Donohue is a constant companion of mine. So lovely to learn you access his soulful wisdom as well. These words do bring solace. And I am grateful.
There isn’t always a need to move on or ‘cure’ those negative feelings when they come: they too are a part of the human experience. To feel a full range of emotion is to live and indulge within the gift of feeling, as bad as they may seem at the time.
Beautiful. I think it's important to feel all the feelings.
Right? How else can we be fully human?

Knowing other caring, feeling people helps me a lot. But you're right. There are a lot that don't seem to care.
Thank you, Nancy, for the restack!
This is lovely and meaningful, Kert
Lovely. Without dark there is no light ☯️

Absolutely! How else can we know we are human?
Thanks Bethel!
“The gift of feeling….” Indeed.
