Gratitude Practice 2020 Day 292: These words and this heart restoring place

Grateful for these words….”The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other hand and to be stretched large by them. How much sorrow can I hold? That’s how much gratitude I can give. If I carry only grief, I’ll bend toward cynicism and despair. If I have only gratitude I’ll become saccharine and won’t develop much compassion for other peoples suffering. Grief keeps the heart fluid and soft, which helps make compassion possible.” - Weller
