"Note to the empath: observe,
don't absorb." ~Unknown
Sound, sound advice . . .
but, how on earth does one
learn to do this?!
I listen with all my heart, as
it is my heart that goes out
to a friend in need. But, I so
feel the pain; don't seem to
be able to let it go.
Almost as if I thought letting
go of the pain myself, would
negate any healing for my
friend.
I know I'd like to learn how
before I pass on to the better
life!
Actually, in thinking about it,
it occurs to me that personal
growth is simply painful.
Perhaps the answer is, accept
it! There is ever and always a
cost and if pain is the cost of
personal growth, maybe one
simply needs to feel it!
