Sympathy

“when you share the feelings of another”

It’s interesting that this definition speaks of feelings in general, not just one specific feeling. Usually we associate “sympathy” as feeling sorry for someone because they experienced some form of loss.

All we’re being asked to do here is to be aware enough of the feelings of another, that we share and understand them…not to fix them or change them or suppress them in any way.

From this place of shared feelings, we form a more humane humanity. That rather than ridicule, criticize, or demean in derision and divisiveness, we instead uplift, join, and support in unison.

How about you? Is sympathy a core value for you?

BTW…here’s what it looked like to begin with …

About the 2024 Mandalas of the Day

Each day I will create and post a mandala inspired by one of 366 “value” words chosen randomly. The objective being to discover for myself which ones would best represent my core values…and by doing so, I hope it inspires you to determine your own.

My Mission: connecting with our Inner Light in delightful, inspiring ways For me, creating mandalas is more than just coloring pretty patterns in a circle. I do it because my spiritual evolution and creativity require it of me. My mandala designs come about within an active meditative state, connected with my higher self, my spiritual guides and nature spirits. Together, we bring into form, mandala art the allows me to re-connect with my own inner peace and joy, letting me explore and expand my own creative spirit to however far and in whatever direction I want to take it. As part of my own spiritual journey, I encourage, and hopefully inspire, others to explore their own creativity, to help them re-connect with their own inner peace and joy. As a means to that end, I make all of my mandalas available for people to color. Why should I have all the fun?
