I see suffering imposed on people who have clearly had no opportunity to take an easier route. Did they choose that difficult path before this incarnation? The bigger picture is hard to find.
I have come to realise that self-compassion is as important as compassion for others. Living in the country has made me realise more keenly the pathway of all creatures to the Creator.
So far it’s all smoke and mirrors, I hope for a deeper understanding of life and some promising leads to follow. I am thankful for any crumbs of knowledge.
