| “[Emotions] show us what we value. They teach us how to live. Learning to admit, observe, and name our emotions changes our internal life, making room for the breadth of human wisdom, for fear and sorrow but also for love, beauty, and goodness.” At a time when COVID-19 cases are spiking, the presidential election is lingering, and winter is looming, Tish Harrison Warren offers a respite for those of us whose emotions feel close to the surface these days. As Warren points out, emotions tell us vital information about our world and ourselves. So when you feel your heart rate rising, when apathy overwhelms you, or when you’re experiencing great joy in the midst of grief, take note. And be kind to yourself |
