I love how you remind us we don't have to rescue, and in doing so might actually hold up another's progress. <br /><br />Thank you for the reminder. xofullsoulahead.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053261523883986863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24806308.post-5145583093944155972012-10-10T00:54:47.464-07:002012-10-10T00:54:47.464-07:00Beautiful post, Thanks for sharing.Beautiful post, Thanks for sharing.PARAMOUNT PAKISTAN TRUSThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07038733138212130614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24806308.post-67198736482214837372012-10-09T11:26:32.527-07:002012-10-09T11:26:32.527-07:00Beautifully said.

Your post really touched me, filled...Dearest Kari,<br /><br />Your post really touched me, filled with emotion, sensitivity, compassion and love, love for her, love for you.<br /><br />Sometimes love means doing the hardest, letting the other person know you are here for her and with her and always will be, to love her and support her, but you will allow her to grow from living her own journey. <br /><br />A few months ago, during a particularly challenging time in my own journey, a person close to my heart told me that she wished she could give me the "arc of growth" and in doing so, allow me to be in less pain, but that there are no short cut that she knows of that can replace the strength and knowledge I am building in living my own journey. <br /><br />I know Kari, that you so wished you could take all her pain and suffering away, rescue her, but as painful as it is, by sending her all your love and light, you are allowing her to build her own strength and self-knowledge.<br /><br />Your loving friend,<br /><br />- IsabelleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24806308.post-59333050304667773342012-10-06T08:48:34.076-07:002012-10-06T08:48:34.076-07:00Beautifully put.

For so many, many years I tried to help by making the other person's problem mine. Finally I learned the lesson that you present so wonderfully well here. <br /><br />Learning this was hard for me because it always seemed to me--I always argued with those who encouraged me to "stay out of it"--that the situation needed "active" compassion. But finally I realized that both the questions and the answers to the paths we take and the possibilities we ignore or embrace are singular to every person. I am not all wise; nor am I the savior of all those in pain. <br /><br />Accepting that has made me take a long look within myself and embrace my own brokenness.
