Sometimes, actually often, I’d rather not know.
I’d rather immerse myself in all the good, uplifting, caring, serving things that I do.
I don’t want to get upset about things I have no control over.
So, I’d rather not know.
I have only so much time, resources.
I cannot take on all the ills and awfulness of the world.
I need to preserve myself so I can do at least some good.
Well, then, is there really nothing I can do?
Actually, I can pause for a moment or two
and hold a heartfelt intention
That every being in the world, those I see as friend and those I see as enemy, is filled in mind and body
with peace.
Deep, enduring peace.
The peace that makes all good things possible.
I can do that.
I don’t have to turn away or feel helpless.
There is great power in Love.
Indeed it is the only Power.
And when I intend with and in Love
I open infinite pathways for infinite possibilities.
That is one thing I can do.
Interested in Mentoring?
EACH MONTH, I work with a small number of people (about 6) in a mentoring capacity. It is highly personalized and uses a body-centred phenomenological (lived experience rather than theoretical) approach and draws on mindfulness and reflective practices. If this sounds interesting to you, you can find out more here.
