Empathy is Magic

How do you conduct yourself in the face of suffering? Not only in one's personal case but also handling a family member's? It is sufficiently acceptable to believe that suffering is an integral part of life and therefore the price we pay. I am proud to meet so many who discover ways to experience bliss when they are most in pain. Their losses and sorrows propel them toward that which is redemptive. Many found an emotional state to balance their despair. But most importantly personal suffering opened an space for empathy with all who have suffered, or went through grief, loss and fear. The connection is magical.
