It is Possible to Awaken
"The ego, despite its dazzling dance routines and ever-persuasive patter, is really a sort of trance state from which it is possible to awaken. And beneath its incessant inner commentary, behind the story lines and the beliefs that spawn them, there is a wellspring of pure compassion."
— Marc Ian Barasch, Field Notes on the Compassionate Life
This is the place from which I want to live.
Daily, I have to close my eyes in order to awaken from the trance of illusory inner gossip and worries.
I hope and pray that when we see each other, we are able to look into one another's eyes. I hope you find me fully awake, and so see the compassion that lets you know you are loved.
