EDIT from my last post: "I can be as clear and connected as possible to my own being.....
Thank you for this. After decades of believing that I had to 'help' the 'other,' I came to see that I cannot help and there is no other. I can be as clear and connected to my own being with whatever is going on, and that is a practice. From that there may be a flow in the direction of being present with those I may encounter in all kinds of ways - which are as simple as standing next to someone in the supermarket line, connecting or working in a job/ volunteer role where there are helpful asks to perform. It is such a relief not to have to think about obsessively rescuing any longer and not just a relief for me either!
