The woman across the bayou who is 95 years old said that in the Great Depression, five members of her family lost their job in one week. In one week, I have spoken to sources and clients, five of them, who have lost their job. Don’t underestimate that right now in our lives we are undergoing severe hardship. What most of us are going through on the inside is amplified on the outside daily, minute by minute, across every touchstone. What we need right now is to see clearly, is to feel compassion, is to know that this too shall pass.<\/p>\n
In the past 24 hours these are the missives that have arrived:<\/p>\n
A fellow blogger\/writer sends me a poem he carries in his wallet:<\/p>\n
What I point out to you
\nIs on that
\nYou shouldn\u2019t allow yourselves
\nTo be confused by others.
\nAct when you need to,
\nWithout further hesistation or doubt<\/p>\n
People today can\u2019t do this.
\nWhat is their affliction?
\nTheir affliction is in
\ntheir lack of self-confidence.<\/p>\n
If you do not spontaneously
\nTrust yourself sufficiently,
\nYou will be in a frantic state,
\nPursuing all sorts of objects
\nAnd being changed
\nBy those objects,
\nUnable to be independent.<\/p>\n

\nWe must live through our life experiences, the good and the difficult, in order for the soul to gain wisdom and fly higher.<\/p>\n
\nIf you make the most of Who You Are.
\nAnd the sensitivity
\nThat you’re now ashamed to see
\nCan be developed even more,
\nSo you can find the hidden doors
\nTo places no one’s been before.
\nAnd the pride you’ll feel inside
\nIs not the kind that makes you fall\u2013
\nIt’s the kind that recognizes
\nThe bigness found in being Small. (p 51)<\/p>\n
