Being Outside of Ourselves
Wholly stepping outside of ourselves is questionable. I am not sure if we ever really do this, though we like to think that this is possible and that we are able to do so effectively--you know, that walking in the shoes of others thing. But what I know for sure is that in merely pracitising stepping outside of ourselves we hear others better and through this hearing we ourselves are challenged and changed and are made better. I am humbled when I hear others in this way and in so doing hear myself.

I so love your soul dear Judith....and, I think, that when we try to do just that, we are also able to forgive much more quickly. Wouldn't this be such a better world if we all practiced just that?
There is no doubt, Rebecca, that we are kindred spirits. Your words have encouraged, enlightened, and challenged me to be better still. I love your thought here about forgiveness. Thank you, my sister, my friend.
Fantastic thought! I have been doing this since quite a long time now. And, I have to agree with your observations!
It's a good thing indeed, eh?
