"compassion." this simple word. this precious concept. compassion is one thing that we are capable of, that I know I live for. I live for moments of embodied compassion. All we are doing here, mostly, is learning about relationships. We are refining, as if we are waking up slowly from a dream, our relationships to grasping, to aversion and to confusion. Sometimes our confusion is vast, sometimes it is relatively benign. We refine our relationships to these three things and behold, we transform ourselves. You do not have to do anything to align yourself with your chakras. And sometimes, you do. It is the great gift of many eastern teachings that the Western mind struggles with. Holding two seemingly contradictory states or things as true. We exist in dualities, in two-ness, in separateness. Light and shadow. Our minds instantly analyze, categorize, fix. And yet, nothing is broken. We are one, even in conflict, even pitted against each other.
