we were made for these times

Clarissa Pinkola Estes:
Mis estimados,
Do not lose heart. We were made for these times....One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. A soul on deck shines like gold. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of your soul in difficult times....to be fierce and to show mercy toward others, both are acts of immense bravery and great necessity.

Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it.....remember why you came to Earth, who you serve, and who sent you here. The good words we say and the good deeds we do are not ours: They are the words and deeds of the One who brought us here.

In that spirit....When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But that is not what great ships are built for.
