[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 621696, member: 17461"] Sometimes, there just isn't anything to say. One of the ladies in my Tai Chi class lives in chronic, increasing pain. She says so little about it. It came up naturally enough, yesterday. The Tai Chi instructor said nothing. Met her eyes. Held her suffering. It is what it is. It is never going to be alright. His eyes-on acceptance of her pain and her situation was a true mark of respect, an acknowledgment of her pain, and of her courage. It was beautiful, Recovering. I am seeing courage in so many guises, now. A kind of tenderness is awakening in me, for all of us, whether I know the story or not. I wonder whether the same thing will happen, with joy? I would like that! :O) Cedar I watched the sun rise, this morning. Sea birds were calling. It took such a long time, to break over the horizon, Recovering. [/QUOTE]
