“There are also quiet, gentle tears. The deepest tears are not always uncontrollable sobbing. Very gentle tears can be deeper, still. They can come when people are deeply touched, or when they touch a deep part of themselves. Tears can come when something new stirs and comes alive for a moment.” Eugene Gendlin

The Right Space

“Every bad feeling (or relating) has within it the potential energy for the more life affirming state if given the right space.” Eugene Gendlin

“There is almost a sensual longing for communion with others who have a large vision. The immense fulfillment of the friendship between those engaged in furthering the evolution of consciousness has a quality impossible to describe.” Teilhard de Chardin

I love this quote! I often feel that words are inadequate, that they fail to capture the living, breathing, moving place in my heart for the work I do. What it feels like for me to sit with someone in the quiet space of the unknown, the ‘hard to feel’, at the edge of their next creative, healing wave. An ‘exquisite privilege’ – these words feel close to describing it. Knowing that whoever is showing up in my healing space is engaged in his/her personal evolution of consciousness. Knowing that this one person’s efforts on her own behalf move us all forward. I am grateful for, in awe of, the struggles, triumphs and profound beauty of the human experience.
