Part of my spiritual work is learning to live with the knowledge that we can't protect our loved ones from pain and heartache.
We can't protect ourselves from pain and heartache. In fact, to love - fully, madly, deeply - is the ensure heartache some day.
I've certainly faced some raw, real pain in my life. I lost my father to a car accident when I was young. My mother died ten years ago. My son was very sick as an infant. Eventually, I have attempted to transform this pain into art, to make meaning out of it.
We can't protect ourselves from pain and heartache.
Our pain is a part of who we authentically are.
