Sometimes we wonder about the difference between adult siblings who were raised as childen in the same household. Hold this image in mind when that judgment arises.
One plant, in its position, benefits from the rain, the other does not. The plants don’t know this.
Similarly, in our relational systems, we often do not understand the difference in ourselves, because as we fight to live we just don’t know what we don’t know. This is why it is majorly important to consciously purge shame from our world.
We shame each other and ourselves when we live with judgment against people, instead of being open to judging our thoughts for self and for each other.
I believe that this process of judging thoughts becomes so much more powerful when we can do it together, with faith in the process, and with warmth and lovingkindness for each other.
Life is life. When we know better we do better without fail. Always. No exceptions.
What we know varies in ways that we don’t understand, so just be kind. Give a little water when we see that water is needed, and do that with love, without shame.
It may take some work to release the shame. Do the work.
It is worth it. These plants won’t learn how to find food and water themselves, and as humans we can learn how to consciously do our best at nourishing our hearts.
Here are the same plants, one day, and a little water later.
Being compassionate, open, inclusive, and shame-free is 100% always worth it.
