Nobody escapes being wounded. We are all wounded people, whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually. The main question is not, 'How can we hide our wounds?' so we don't have to be embarrassed, but 'How can we put our woundedness in the service of others?'~Henri Nouwen

Where the hell is Doug Ford? Leaders are supposed to be on the ground to reassure people. Can someone get a message to him at the cottage?

Jung’s life and work are preoccupied with the ‘dark side’ of humanity. It is not that Jung felt that we should celebrate darkness in a satanic way or become devil worshippers. But he felt we should enter into the darkness and find out what is inside it.~David Tacey, 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘛𝘰 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘑𝘶𝘯𝘨

If you have really worked on your complexes, you become more or less untouchable and you are no longer influenced by poisonous gossip. As long as poisonous talk can get to you, it means there is some shadow element around that isn't yet integrated.~Marie-Louise von Franz

[E]golessness is a flexible identity. It manifests as inquisitiveness, as adaptability, as humor, as playfulness. It is our capacity to relax with not knowing, not figuring everything out, with not being at all sure about who we are, or who anyone else is, either.~Pema Chodron

We may never fully reconcile with the horrific, senseless violence that ripped through Tumbler Ridge this past week.
But we can find comfort in each other. We can look after each other. To those families who have lost loved ones: we mourn with you.

A brilliant speech by Canada's Mark Carney in Davos: "The old order is not coming back. We should not mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy...The powerful have their power. But we have something too — the capacity to stop pretending, to name reality, to build our strength at home & to act together."
