Hello and welcome back to practicing human the podcast where every day we're

getting a little better at life. I'm your host Cory Muscara and in today's

episode we're going to talk about meeting people in their pain and confusion or

to come on that in a moment first let's settle in together with the sound of the

bells. So to be human among other humans is a joy and also difficult and

confusing and painful we can have similar needs and we can have different needs and it can

sometimes be hard to find clarity around how to move forward or how to see eye to eye or even a

clear path for resolution and so sometimes we just need to be with one another in that confusion

and pain and create a space of safety a container that says I see you I hear you I feel you and I'll

stay here with you I see you I hear you I feel you I'll stay here with you and in sharing that

space with someone there's great love and I think an argument could be made that at the root of

all of the confusion we experience in our life and in our world that's at the heart of what

we most need. So the next time you're with someone going through something difficult or you're

in a conversation that doesn't have an easy resolution see if you can at least take the

perspective of I see you I hear you I feel you I'll stay here with you and that commitment can at

least get us closer to truth understanding and connection thank you for your practice I'll talk

to you soon and until then take care
