This article is a good wake up call for me. I have spending a lot of my time figuring out what living from soul is NOT. Posted filtered selfies with a Rumi quote ain’t it, that I know.
I guess it served me for awhile but after reading this and thinking about it all day, I’m left with the question...how can we be lovers in 2023? What does love look like (I’m in America) with sky high rents, $9 carton of eggs and endless fires that keep me inside.
I feel you. So many of us are facing real challenges around the practicalities of living these days. My approach has been to spend more time in nature, less time online and giving more attention to the “little things” like making good meals, caring for our dog, playing and listening to music, having meaningful conversations, etc. Soul Making helps me bear the suffering better, because it connects me to what is real and eternal. The rest is about getting up, showing up and trying to get by while doing the work to bring more soulfulness in the world. Hope that offers some encouragement.
I love Sundays here Brian!

I feel a lot of sadness too.

It does offer encouragement Brian, thank you. It’s a lonely journey but honest spaces like these help ease that. Meet you here next Sunday :)
