Early release for Locals! Will be public on YouTube and audio podcast this weekend.
We talk about how compassion and suffering could matter if this world is a kind of illusion, the distinction between empathy and compassion as it relates to burnout, dorsal and ventral vagal mechanisms related to deep trauma conditioning, the true meaning of Christmas and the holiday season and MUCH more.

I came home from work the other afternoon to find this precious trio (with mom) standing to the right of my driveway. They were so tiny! So cute!
In the middle of the night when your past misdeeds come back to berate you, you should do two things:
1. Honor the lessons and realize that it is because you're a better person now and be thankful of that!
2. See that persons who do harms against you and others are harming themselves more. Others are as yourself in the need compassion. Just as you needed compassion when you were in dark times, everyone needs compassion.
We are all a moment. We are not :that" moment, or a "future" moment. We are "this" moment!
