Opening us up

Joanna Macy
September 2022 (Vol. XXXV, No. 8)
When we hear the sounds of the Earth crying within us, we're unblocking the channels of felt connectedness that join us to the world. These channels act like a system, opening us up to a source of strength and resilience.
~ Joanna Macy in A WILD LOVE FOR THE WORLD

Quote of the Day

Only as we begin to open to others in love can our isolated ego be transformed. An awareness of our interdependence with other human beings and with all of life provides the environment in which the seed of our souls can flourish.
