The tender spots

This morning I cried. For a couple of minutes, I felt my world closing in on itself. In my soul a deep sadness welled up. There is lingering pain from childhood loss coupled with my current life overwhelmed.  This too shall pass. All the change that comes also goes. There is comfort in the difference. In these moments, I want to hug the world. I want to be like Amma. If I can bring selfless love and compassion into my soul, then the pain will lessen. It is the lesson. The answer is to feel it and live in love.
