“The biggest gift you can give is to be absolutely present, and when you’re worrying about whether you’re hopeful or hopeless or pessimistic or optimistic, who cares? The main thing is that you’re showing up, that you’re here and that you’re finding ever more capacity to love this world because it will not be healed without that.”
— Joanna Macy, On Being interview

Rilke says:
“Let everything happen to you
beauty and terror.
Just keep going,
No feeling is final.”
