Sometimes it makes sense to say nothing. \\xa0 Sometimes we need to quiet our mind and voices and just listen. \\xa0 We try to put words to what another might be feeling and it is impossible. \\xa0 It is impossible to fully understand what they are feeling, hearing, saying or living \\u2013 we simply can not feel the same as they do. \\xa0 Even if you are empathetic, you will feel pain, anger, frustration whatever the emotion is \\u2013 BUT it will be through YOUR filters and at a level of YOUR experience.\\xa0 \\xa0

In my world of speaking to loved ones that cross over, I can feel the energy of the loss,\\xa0 I can feel the heart pain,\\xa0 and I can relate because I\\u2019ve lost loved ones -\\xa0 however I can NOT exactly feel, know, express exactly what another feels.\\xa0

We are so unique in our emotions, our mental filters,\\xa0 our imprints and our coping skills that there is just NO way that we can relate.\\xa0 \\xa0 \\xa0However \\u2013 as humans we can try.\\xa0 \\xa0 We can pray for them, pray for the community, pray for the world, yet it doesn\\u2019t feel like it is enough. \\xa0 As humans, we want to take away that pain, heal that pain, elevate that soul back to love and happiness.\\xa0 \\xa0 We may feel helpless but we can still feel hopeful.\\xa0 \\xa0\\xa0

Sometimes it makes sense to say nothing and listen and ask.\\xa0

Sometimes it makes sense to speak out, stand up, speak the truth of the inequalities and that it has to stop.\\xa0 Sometimes it requires an interruption, to step in when we see the wrongness of the situation.\\xa0
