Irene’s note

We all may carry a longing within us:

“I want to be understood,” or “I want my true voice to be heard.”

I have worked so hard. I have contributed so much. I have made so many sacrifices.  I have this much kindness and compassion. I have these talents. And right now, I am suffering this much.

When misunderstandings arise while we are holding onto these feelings, we can unknowingly find ourselves trapped in an endless “battle of the intellect.”

What became clear during this Strawberry Jam was a wondrous experience: that even in the midst of such a battle, by continuing “one thing,” what we truly need returns to us.

Together with KR, we look at the memories behind the desire “I want to be understood” from the perspective of cleaning.
