Cycle of Life
As we live through this unfathomable level of crisis in many fronts of our lives, I actually got caught in my own chain of thoughts that took me down into despair over the weekend. With so much destruction and losses all around, I felt hopeless and helpless. I must say it was dark down there. Luckily, I received text messages from a couple of friends on the East Coast checking in for my safety because of the fires. When I responded with my current state of my mind, they reminded me of the spiritual path I travel on and the strength the journey provides me. I also got to talk to my Dharma mentor, Diana, who gave me the assurance we will live through this time no matter how hard things may get.
