2024…Climate Change/ Castastrophies…War…Overwhelm…! Too much…

Letters to a young Poet by Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903  “(…) I would like to beg you (…) as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books, written in a foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now.

Perhaps then, some day in the future you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer”. – translated from German

What to do?? How to proceed? Oh my God….what do I do?

No place to go….

Be with what is…(that certainly requires presence and courage).

Find support…community.

Thich Naht Hahn, internationally acclaimed Buddhist monk and teacher said: “The way out is in”.

Go within…find a teacher/guide. Very hard to be alone on this path.

BREATHE… In French, inspirer (inhale)….literally means let spirit in. Expirer (exhale) ...let Spirit out. It knows what to do. Let go. Se rendre..in French means ‘surrender’.
