08UndatedIf we can’t feel into the heart of grief, we can’t truly move on to experience hope and joy. We can’t be present to what is now, and what is next, because we are bound by the loss and sorrow that holds us to the past. Grief has to flow. It has to be carried, not just by you, but by the others with you, by your community, until it transforms to the next rightful calling of your heart to action.Sharon Weil / quote ↗

15UndatedIf I bother to listen, I can navigate by failure just as much as I can navigate by success.Sharon Weil / quote ↗
16UndatedTo be able to open the heart again after betrayal, injury, or loss is a precious act. It requires both courage and compassion. It requires a new movement to emerge from the depths of grief. Forgiveness is one of the most certain paths to restoration, and it is also one of the most difficult. However, it is an attempt to return to wholeness, once again, by letting go and freeing myself from the tight clutch and heavy burden of caution, anger, resentment, and the desire for revenge and punishment. In forgiving others, I free myself towards belonging and wholeness, be it with the person I am forgiving, or with myself.Sharon Weil / quote ↗
17UndatedWhat I experience of change is either the flow of the movement of change or my resistance to it.Sharon Weil / quote ↗

21UndatedIn forgiving others, I free myself towards belonging and wholeness, be it with the person I am forgiving, or with myself.Sharon Weil / quote ↗
22UndatedHealing restores to wholeness that which has been injured or fragmented.Sharon Weil / quote ↗
