Balanced Mind with Julie Potiker

Compassion Meditation for Ukraine
Don’t Ask Me, by Julie Potiker
Don’t ask me how I am
As sorrow flows through me
Don’t ask me
If your ears must close to the truth
Don’t ask me
If your heart must harden to the pain
Don’t ask me
If your hands hang useless at the end of your limp arms
Don’t ask me
When your arms become animated and pulse with energy, pulling me in for a warm embrace
I’ll know I’ve been seen
When your heart softens and shares my sorrow
I’ll know I’ve been felt
When your ears open to my quivering voice
I’ll know I’ve been heard
Then go ahead
Ask me how I am.
