 Editor’s note: On gratefulness.org, Greta Matos shares that: "We all have a capacity to share what we feel we have an abundance of. When we give without expectation, when we are able to acknowledge what a gift it is to have something to give in the first place, that alone will fill us with an overwhelming sense of gratitude, love, and compassion. The world in which we can give becomes larger; and so do we." Thank you to all the members of our KindSpring community who share their kindness with such abundance! |

There is something so enchanting in the smile of melancholy. It is a ray of light in the darkness, a shade between sadness and despair, showing the possibility of consolation.

In Praise of Melancholia
The science of behavioral epigenetic explores how melancholy can be passed down through the generations at the level of our DNA. Long seen as a key element in artistic inspiration, melancholia often helps turn pain and sorrow into healing, ultimately leading to an acceptance of life’s inescapable emotional sufferings and wounds. Indigenous and shamanic cultures such as that of Aboriginal Australia have long believed that whatever suffering we have absorbed from our ancestors’ experiences can be psychically healed in the present by an effort of understanding. { read more }
Be The Change
Bring your thoughts to what you know of any hardships and dark experiences your parents and grandparents may have suffered and embrace whatever pain it evokes in you. Perhaps this can help you and your children, and even relieve those who are long gone in some way. |
