"So when someone comes to you with harsh words remain steadfast in your purity and project only love." These are wise words dear Sevara ~ In the past I used to be very hard on myself and these feelings drew me inward...
I took comfort in my art and if I can find it - I have a drawing that I did many years ago that express these feelings ...I would like to share it with you someday ~

And yes - though darkness in our world plays on fear ...just as you say...I must take care not to respond in fear or evil will win ... That is what I love about my spiritual journey - To enlighten is to rise above the knee-jerk responses that too many people fall into ~ That is what leads to misunderstandings and wars ~

As always, thank you dearest Seva for your guidance which vibrate with beauty and light ~ With love ~ Coralina ~
