"Somewhere someone needs help. Send love. It matters." writes Carrie Newcomer. Yes. We all sometimes need love to sustain life. When someone needs my loving and supportive hand I feel compassion for that person and I do whatever I can. When I offer my hand unconditionally to the other my heart is filled with love and joy. I believe all of us are endowed with the gift of love. When I send love to someone who needs help I experience oneness with the other person. It is fulfilling and joyful. It is a spiritual experience , an experience of unitive consciousness. We are witnessing a horrible war in Ukraine causing property and human destruction, innocent people suffering and dying.
"Somewhere someone needs help." I deeply feel for people going through such suffering. I have chosen to breathe in the weight of their suffering. I pray for them and make financial contributions to help them. I know there are many obstacles the Ukrainians are facing at this time. I know I am not capable of bringing change in this situation. I recognize it. They are still in my mind and heart. I breathe in and do whatever I can to be helpful to them. I breathe out knowing and accepting what I cannot change and do not add more emotional pain in me. I do what I can and let go what I can't do. Awareness keeps me awake to do what I can do and intelligence and discretion to know what I cannot. Namaste!

I'm so glad you liked this poem. I LOVE it! I read it each night before I go to bed. Each night I try to think of a few people to say it to/send love to. Sometimes it is personal people I know (Yes you too!) and other times it may just be general, police officers, doctors/nurses, people with cancer, etc. I too try to remember when I can't control things or help them in a substantial way I can at least send love and my prayers to help.
