Pause for Reflection: Soul Lessons during Political Division

In this week’s pause for reflection, I will be talking about politics; how could I not? But, I will be talking about it from an emotional and spiritual perspective. I have strong opinions (and they do not include being a fan of Trump’s — you have been forewarned). I share thoughts on why anger matters, why it is so easy to have compassion and empathy for like-minded people and how important it is to explore empathy for those with whom we have radically different opinions. I explore the difference between old souls and young souls and what it is we might be here to learn, because I keep hearing that our souls chose this time in history. What would it mean if we were to “climb a wall of empathy” and might that be an important part of how we find our way through? All questions and no answers, but the questions are often the most important place to start.
