Engendering Compassion
I've begun reading Writing Down the Bones by Natalie Goldberg. I'm not reading it straight through. I'm jumping around--each chapter is written to stand alone. Today I read the chapter "Engendering Compassion."
In this, Goldberg talks about writing through your fear. One of her biggest fears is loneliness.
I sit here, still sick (with an upper resp. infection--again), wondering what my biggest fears are in life. Off the top of my head I can't actually name any. I'll have to meditate on this one for awhile.
In the meantime--what are your greatest fears? What one small thing can you do to begin facing them?
