I'm sitting at my desk here in Belgium, it's early Thursday morning.
I am safe and well and so is the rest of my family.
We were deeply shocked by the attacks in Brussels and I have to say that after the shock, I felt deep sadness.
Sadness for all the victims and the broken lives of the families of the victims.
Sadness for the terrorists too, that they chose fear and hate in their lives.
As the sadness hung as a fog over these past 2 days, I also felt my heart softened and expanded somehow. Feeling compassion for all people, so many people feeling lost in a big world...
All WE can do, is to keep choosing love in all our words, actions and thoughts. As Ghandi put so beautifully: Be the change you want to see in the world.
Being with you in every loving thought,
Being with you in every act of kindness, Being with you in every opening of your heart, Being with you when you feel lost, Being with you when you are in deep fear, Sending you love,
Barbara.
