Dear friends from Sweden, I would like to share a few thoughts of Stephen Gilligan on his 3rd premise: Life is great, but sometimes it hurts like hell
In his book The Courage to Love, he writes: The river of life brings both suffering and joy. Both are crucial to sense and be with When we are willing and able to be with each moment as it is living life on lifes terms we sense that nothing is permanent, that change is already occurring. We develop a skill that the Buddhists call the agency of mindfulness It requires a tender sobriety, a willingness to absorb each experience and then let it go. In effective suffering, experience changes and self-love deepens as the heart cracks open to a deeper tenderness and centeredness. As the Buddhists say, the heart was meant to be broken, over an over again. Not shattered, but opened to a greater connection with self and world. I deeply share your grief.
