I have been wondering how to be with what is happening in the world at this time. Lots of questions are coming up for me at this time. What is my role in all this, if any? How to be with my wounds, pain and suffering so that I do not inflict pain and suffering on others. What role does compassion have in situations like this, if any. How can I not take what is not mine, how can I not give what is not mine to give! It is not easy, I am trying to stay present as best as is possible, somehow trusting that guidance for the way forward is available in the present moment.
