Hi Rob, I've been enjoying your writing- this time on empathy, with references to the animals.
I was therfore surprised that you didn't mention that you were no longer eating animals or their secretions. That seems like a pretty significant action of empathy, especially since it's pretty self-serving as well with the planet in such a crisis.
Great to hear from you, Ken! Yes, I eat no beef, pork, or lamp. I do eat some shrimp and a little chicken. Still trying to let go of those. You have inspired me with your practice. Great that you are collaborating with Climate Healers. I will explore them. I am part of the Third Act and Sunrise and Catalyst2030. Best wishes.
From Loraine Rickard-Martin: Dear Robertson, this is very powerful. I've shared it on UNSRC Practical Zen Facebook Group. I'd like to share it on FCICS FB group, or perhaps you can do so.
From Nikhil Chandavarkar: Comforting essay in turbulent times, reminding us to rediscover the empaths within us : we’re all droplets in the single ocean of the supreme Self.
I now have the gift of time over the next months. I look forward to using a good part of that time to engage with your writings. Back to re-read and absorb this essay. Happy Friday, my friend

We've been collaborating with Climate Healers for some years now and you might be interested in their program all this weekend focused on the oceans. Check it out at https://climatehealers.ticketspice.com/v-cop15-vegan-convergence-of-the-peoples-15
