and lately it seems the suffering seems to be greater than usual
i understand that there is very little that i can do to relieve their suffering and of course now is the time my fantasies about being the fixer kick in.
this is the part of me that believes that i can do the impossible and be everything for everyone. i know that means that it is time to be working harder on myself so i can be there to give them the emotional and spiritual support to allow them to get through their trials and move into a new place
so just for today i will let go and let our collective Higher Powers do their job

☯ The Tao that can be spoken is not the eternal Tao ☯
by Lao-Tse
Translated by James Legge
Book 1
1) When one is about to take an inspiration, he is sure to make a
(previous) expiration; when he is going to weaken another, he will
first strengthen him; when he is going to overthrow another, he will
first have raised him up; when he is going to despoil another, he
will first have made gifts to him:--this is called 'Hiding the light
(of his procedure).'
