I was deeply saddened by Robin William’s death just as I imagine you were. He was obviously suffering greatly while the darkness of depression engulfed him.
“Robin, whatever configuration you are now, I wish you peace. I am sorry for the suffering that you endured."
When a tragic death happens it seems to resonate deep in our own soul . . . One of the times when, if we examine what’s going on, we realize that we are not “islands”. We are connected. Our separation is our ego’s delusion. I imagine that Robin Williams felt absolutely and tragically alone.
Let’s you and I make a determined effort to feel the happiness and the pain of all other beings. We are not separate – we are threads of a large cloth.
Smile for no reason (or any reason) at all. Engage in friendly talk with strangers, pet a dog or cat. These are just a few of the behaviors that open our hearts and may very well change the emotional experience of the “other.”
