I relate wholeheartedly, Kert.

Caring too much has been an ongoing source of sorrow and a compelling inquiry into freedom for many years. The challenge has been learning to care less and trust more.

But it’s not easy because to be human is to care deeply about our lives and the world around us. “Teach us to care and not to care,” wrote T.S. Eliot, one of my favorite lines.

Thank you for this valuable exploration.

I’m loving these explorations. I’ve been practicing not caring too. Which, as you say, doesn’t mean what it sounds like. I feel much steadier for the practice!
