How To Be Present To One Another In Suffering: A Reflection & Meditation

'One of the hardest things we must do sometimes is to be present to another person’s pain without trying to “fix” it, to simply stand respectfully at the edge of that person’s mystery and misery. "

Being present to each other in our times of suffering without feeling the need to fix or solve anything.

How we can let go of any need to change the world but instead can see with love and compassion those "three feet in front of us". An invitation to care for each other without being overwhelmed.
