As you become more sensitive you far more readily pick up on the emotions of those around you. Perhaps you are tuning in to your wife's reaction? you never know..<br /><br />But being aware of the suffering of others is supposed to move us to tears. 'It hurts you more, but it bothers you less', as Ken Wilber says.<br /><br />I believe we all have a destiny lined up a loooong time ago. I suppose we just have to have faith that things are happening as they should, whilst at the same time, using each situation to be of service.<br /><br />I hope things settle a little and you get the support you need.An Irish Friend of Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781376087404079818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904990175885851041.post-64858608526440960052009-09-24T08:53:08.771-04:002009-09-24T08:53:08.771-04:00I am truly so so sorry to hera of this sadnness.
