Sep 28 - Oct 4

Autumn, week 2

"True healing happens when we go into our own pain so deeply that we see it is not just our pain, but everyone's pain. It's immensely moving and supportive to discover that my pain is not private to me. Practice helps us to see that the whole universe is in pain." --Joko Beck
