As we celebrate Equinox/Mabon, my attention is focused on balance. I am grateful for the reminder as it feels like we need this more than ever. Then again, Nature always offers us solutions and reminders if we are willing to listen. For the last six months, when I have asked about the pandemic, I am told to focus on compassion, that compassion is the biggest lesson for us now. Compassion is active; it is cultivated. The truth is that it takes great courage to respond with compassion, to witness someone in their wounding, or to be willing to respond with Love when someone causes harm to you or others.
