We all know that value of being able to assume another person’s point of view. But do we REALLY know the cost of NOT being able to assume another’s POV? We are now seeing the cost escalate at our southern borders. We will all suffer for this horror.

Liberation. I’ve long had a fascination with what liberation really is. It’s a word that often gets tossed out as the goal in psychotherapy, yoga, meditation. Liberation. Whatever the reason, we all crave liberation, freedom. We want the freedom to do, be and have. We crave freedom from pain and suffering AND the freedom to express that elaborately unique expression of consciousness that moves through us as us.

We all know the burden of walking around uncomfortable in our own skin: the ruminating thoughts, fears, and doubts weighing so heavy on our shoulders; the words and actions, bubbling out of the turmoil of our subconscious, stilted and unsure; trying to prove something we didn’t need to.

My heart has joined the millions of others who have been swimming through outrage, anguish, fear, and distress as the unfolding humanitarian crisis at our southern borders is becoming crystal clear. We KNOW the damage this is causing and it is heartbreaking.
