One Apple A Day #504 - being the mountain
This morning I was reflecting on compassion, sympathy and empathy. And then I remembered this beautiful cartoon based on a talk given by Brené Brown on Empathy.
It's less than 3 minutes so it won't take much of your time, but she beautifully explains what empathy is.

"Rarely can a response make something better. What makes something better is connection."
A few days ago I was reflecting with some brothers about compassion and empathy. We came out with this inspiring image of being the mountain in the storm. Being able to share the pain of others without hiding from it, feeling it as if it is mine. But at the same time, being centred as a mountain, offering a grounded presence where they can find peace.
