It’s time to both take mental illness out of those dark shadows, and understand what it truly is—-a breakdown in the capacity to remain connected to others who care. It is a form of collective trance that we need to wake up about, both in how we see it and how we treat those who are affected.
Boundaries are rules of conduct determining how you act and react in relation to others.
To want to know what this so that we can offer it to the world creates in us a deep longing, at times anxiety, and possibly a sense of being lost, that often leads us to seek guidance, to pray, and to reserve a very sacred part of us to receive this knowing. Others can share their journey, or their wisdom, but the holy process of being devoted to discovering what you are here to give—to live as your True offering—-is very personal, and takes place in the innermost chambers of a person’s heart.
This moment is a good time to understand compassion and its incredible power, as we collectively experience its welling up after being shown the tragic photo of a migrant father and his young daughter. We are witness to state-sponsored child abuse in our country, and the fire of so many now is fueled by a response of compassion.
