I felt so sad this morning.

My teacher once said, “God has created a madhouse!”

Now we are truly in it.

We are all being subjected to intense heartlessness, even if we are the ones perpetrating it.

It’s like being drip fed our own poison.

Lord Shiva transmuted poison into the nectar of wisdom. We do that in our small ways when we notice the wisdom and come to embody the wisdom revealed during extreme circumstances.

But to do this requires that we work at the edge of our capacity to stay open and aware and loving. It requires that we live through every feeling and keep going, keep looking for the door that opens to a wider view and more capacity.

I have been doing daily spiritual practice for 40 years, and times, like this morning, it's still difficult for me to be a feeling, seeing human here.

So I was wondering what it’s like for you all. What are you drawing on?

And I just want to send love.
