I don't know about you, but I'm often utterly overwhelmed with earthly matters! Whether it's the nagging sense that I need to check off all the items of my daily to-do list, the demanding desire to heal my emotional wounds while also being fully present to the needs of others, the disappointing awareness that people can sometimes be cruel in ways that cause massive disintegration to our social contracts—there's no shortage of ways that this world can detach us from our sense of Self and exhaust our very soul.
