Choices

I can look retrospectively at my life and see clearly that I was provided with numerous opportunities to grow and learn in the direction of love, the approach I now use and suggest in my book (Three Simple Questions: Being In the World But Not Of It). In my case it finally took personal pain and discomfort to make the shift. The discomfort was well worth it but could have been avoided . I often think of Williamson’s comment that "We will be given every opportunity to learn through joy, and when we deny ourselves that, we will learn through pain. But we will learn." I suspect we are at a similar crossroad of choice in regards to our current president. It is wonderful to see the loving, inclusive and compassionate response of the populous so far.
