I just want to make it better. . .

Another quote I've had for a long time:
"The universe says loss demands birth and the two are lovers."

For me, this relates to the concept that we must be open to each experience, even this painful time of separation and loss so that we can learn from it and be open to the next step in our journey. I was reading a magazine article about this that talked about how so often we run from and avoid our painful experiences. We have the feeling "I don't want this to be happening". But if we run from it, we will not learn.

Another thing in the article I really liked was a statement that this experience of not wanting things to be this way is a link with humanity - a shared experience all over the world. That connects with how I feel about being able to come to this site and remember that my feelings and my experience are not unique and that I have this bond with so many others.
