Empathic.................
The Teresian Contemplative SHE moves in tumult; round her lies The silence of the world of grace; The twilight of our mysteries Shines like high noonday on her face; Our piteous guesses, dim with fears, She touches, handles, sees, and hears. In her all longings mix and meet; Dumb souls through her are eloquent; She feels the world beneath her feet Thrill in a passionate intent; Through her our tides of feeling roll And find their God within her soul. ~Robert Hugh Benson~ |

We can be a danger to ourselves, yet others can harm us. Yet if we lash out with hatred or violence, if we make war on ourselves or each other, we generate more fear, reactivity and suffering. Freeing ourselves from this trance of fear and alienation becomes possible only as we respond to our vulnerability with a wise heart.
