When life unexpectedly challenges you, you learn a lot about people in your life. It’s like an uncomfortable cleanse. You get to see who can handle the darkness, and who is fleeing it in themselves.
One thing you can be sure of: If they can’t own their shadow, they won’t show up for anyone else’s. We live in a distraction addicted culture, often delaying our intimacy with the shadow until the last possible moment. Privilege begets privilege, until there is nothing real left. Find comfort in those who can handle your challenges, disregard the rest.
Compassion is the bridge that heals souls. Not feigned compassion. The real kind. The inconvenient kind. Compassion of the heart.
