It’s the physical plane which feels so unreal to me at times, but it’s what most people see. This is probably where some of my greatest challenges lie.
I know for certain I’m in a growth phase. A lot of what I see frightens me. I feel sorrow a lot… I’m not sure if it’s for the world or for myself… Probably a combination of both because I consider myself connected to everything around me.
