January 30, 2021--Pessimism About the World
Our pessimism about the world is the mirror image
of our indictment of ourselves.
If we have not learned to hold our own fears gently
how can we look with compassion
at the world we live in?
When we embrace our own darkness
and find the light within,
we are no longer intimidated by a world
in which violence seems to prevail,
for we understand that this is but a symptom
of the separated self.
