Good morning my DU family, [View all]

One of the reasons pain is so difficult for people to relate to is that almost from birth, we are taught to run from/ignore/deny/distract from/escape from/ and avoid pain in all forms.
Whether it's the pain from trauma, a recent loss, lifelong physical exertion, a failing body, or haunting memories of abuse, sufferers deserve to be treated with the same relaxed, trusting and accepting manners that we do for a friend describing the joy from their recent, last, long ago vacation.
If someone makes me feel uncomfortable with their circumstances today, I will ask myself why, and keep asking until my answer comes.
I'm going to make someone's day today by accepting them exactly where they are.
Have a day filled with opportunity.....
Love, John
