I love the reflective (pun very much intended) metro ride video. It sums up so well what you'd been writing about but it's a lovely little cameo all on its own. XXX
It feels so good to take this walk with you, Beth. I had a session with my spiritual director a few days ago. As we spoke, I realized that I had been neglecting taking the time to be, and be still. Your last sentence here seems to sum up what I get out of reading here--an integrated care for the self ("say sane") and for others ("make the world a better place"). Each alone leads to its particular pathology.
So true, Bryce. Like you, I tend to leave the self-care part for last, but there's a reason why contemplation and action are two sides of the same coin.

Thanks, Deborah! I loved your latest post too, though I think I meant to comment and didn't...your drawings really touch me.
