One of our fellow communtiy members wrote a lovely post. There was something they very much wanted to do, but realized they just did not have the capacity currently. That realization and admission was painful for them, and we all recognize a moment - or maybe a few - when we, too, have asked "What's the point?"
Here's the point.
We get better.
If we learn to care for ourselves at least a fraction as well as we have cared for others.
If we learn to let others give us what we need, and learn to accept gracefully and gratefully what others have been wanting and needing to give us.
If we have the courage to be vulnerable, and see that as the part of the great beauty of being human instead of superhuman.
If we learn to appreciate the quiet and the stillness to nuture our resources and "polish our spoons".
If we learn to gentle, rather than wrestle, "The Gorilla".
We get better.
And we get better faster with the love and help and support of others.
And having learned all this, we'll be able to teach it - to our family and to our friends - and hopefully they can learn it without enduring the chysalis of what ails us.
That's the point.
