Your 'Universal love' feeling sounds like the ability to be at peace with what is. Not an easy thing. And probably comes in temporary spurts that eventually last longer. It brings to my mind the little I know about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), where you simply allow yourself to notice and acknowledge certain feelings, but not to judge yourself harshly for having them. That has often taken the sting out of difficult moments for me.
My last few days has focused on dealing the frustrating fact that I seem to get paralyzed and useless for other things when there is a particular crisis going on in my life. It makes me feel ashamed and too privileged, since I know that there's deal with crisis and trauma on a more daily basis and if they 'stopped' like I do, they and their families wouldn't eat. So they have to function and go on surviving everyday. So a bit of forgiveness toward myself might be in order this week.

Most of the other listed sub values I feel I come up against regularly with every meeting I attend here, every discussion about racism, the environment, social justice , cooperation, etc.. For example I just recently met with a local guy who is considering running for congress where I live and we discussed many of the topics above as grounds for what to focus on if he runs. My point being I can't seem to NOT have them constantly simmering in my brain expecting me to do more and be more all the time. Oops, there's the guilt again. Hold on while I breathe and forgive again.

My comment may have veered a bit away from what you were looking for, but oh well.

Clara, Thank you so much for these posts. They have been wonderful opportunities to engage in some soul cleansing.

Much love ❤️
