It's fascinating to me that ...Thanks Nathan! <br /><br /> It's fascinating to me that you've also heard from others will illness and/or disability about the need to feel like they are inspiring to others. I would think this would especially be the case for people with obvious disability - for example, people in a wheelchair. ('he climbed Mt Everest in a wheelchair, with two sherpas strapped to his back...if he could do that, YOU can do anything!')<br /><br />Blerg. <br /><br /> Sorry to hear you've lost your barn as well, sending metta your way. :) EmSara https://www.blogger.com/profile/12095262161793214914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5752442688135445689.post-87636498420114123142010-08-20T17:22:34.650-07:002010-08-20T17:22:34.650-07:00Hi Emma,
My barns have burnt down recently, too....Hi Emma, <br /><br />My barns have burnt down recently, too. Feels like many barns, not one. All this summer, like one continuous fire. I think I'm learning from it all, awakening slowly - but inspiring to others, who knows really? <br /><br />No one's life should be about an obligation to inspire others - not mine, yours, or anyone. I have heard from many people struggling with chronic illnesses or physical disabilities this sense that you write about - family members, friends - you're not alone in your frustration. <br /><br />Being who you are, as best as you can, moment by moment, should be inspiration enough. Everything else is extra, people chasing for dramatic stories that will feed their hopes. <br /><br />May you be "at two with nature" completely and fully, until something else arises.<br /><br />Best,<br />NathanNathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13920234350446745482noreply@blogger.com
