Feel All the Feelings
The lotus encourages us to embrace the change coming to us. It also urges us to allow ourselves to feel all of the feelings. They likely will be complex. They might be heavy and overwhelming. Embrace them. They are part of the process of creating change.
Good Grief
Grief is deep and persistent. It lingers. But we can carry it with us as we move forward. We are allowed to grieve. But we must not let our grief blind us to new life and opportunities.
