Tonya, I think you're so right. In addition to that thought, though, I think one can take on what isn't one's to bear. When there's so much hard stuff going on around me, I think I start taking on too much. There has to be some middle way of caring, I think--maybe something like the combination of true compassion and detachment that Buddhists talk about. It can feel paradoxical, but maybe it isn't.

You have a beautiful heart to feel so deeply for so many. I am sending you some peace. I imagine it must feel strange indeed to be away from your little creature. Take it easy, gently.

it is good to grieve for the pain of your friends, for the pain of world… someone has to do it, and often those who need to mourn are unable… so a heart like yours allows the pain to live within it for awhile. it is a gift.
peace to you in the midst of the storms.
