The weight of #caring - professionally/ personally/ globally - is significant. Lately I've been 'feeling' too much, my compassion for others has exhausted me. Today though, a #SpacesForListening session reminded me that I'm not alone & that boundaries come in all shapes & sizes.
"Accept your own aloneness and stick to it, all your life. And then accept the times when the gap is filled in, when they come. But they've got to come. You can't force them." ~ D.H. Lawrence
Autumn on Krestovsky Island 🎨 Ivan Shishkin (1892)
"For what is love itself, for the one we love best? — an enfolding of immeasurable cares which yet are better than any joys outside our love." ~ George Eliot, 'Daniel Deronda'
A Woodland near Leeds (1869) 🎨 John Atkinson Grimshaw
