When you use the sheer force of your sorrow to crack open your heart, it promises to drop you down into a deeper capacity for compassion and care for all living beings. You become initiated into your own humanity in a way that connects you to all life. Such is the paradox of grief. It holds the power to either destroy or to save you. Which one is up to you.

Even though it was a huge lesson to me in life, discovering it is truly our choice in our lives and how we live/respond/react…. it’s a lesson I often ‘re-learn’. Thank you Diana.
