You Are Not Broken-Wholeheartedness In A Broken World

Good Morning Wisdom Walkers:I hope that you are doing really well. I have been struck this week by the challenge of living in this world. On one hand is the pull to the internal world, on the other a sadness, stimulated by the news of the world, about how far we have to go to actually live in peace with each other.One of my favourite writers, Parker J. Palmer speaks sagely about the skill of “holding the tension” between what we long for, and know is right, and the reality of what is actually in front of us. Holding that tension is a way to abide in the peace that is our birthright, and being present to, connected to, the pain all around us. They are not mutually exclusive. We do not need to run away from either of these worlds, but can hold them both. Though I believe this is profoundly true, it lands in the easier said than done basket for me.I wish you the inner strength and resilience to hold this tension well in your life.Thank you for reading and listening to my posts and I hope you have a wonderful week.Please feel free to comment and contribute your wisdom to this community. We all need open, safe and authentic community!Cheers,Ian Get full access to Living Your Wisdom at theclearmindway.substack.com/subscribe
