“What was the gift in your brother calling you fat—when you were a little girl?” someone in my circle asked.

“I don’t know … Empathy, maybe,” I said. I know what being ridiculed feels like. I can connect and empathize with others who have had a similar experience.

“For if that which you seek, you find not within yourself, you will never find it without.” – the Goddess speaking in The Charge of the Goddess as written by Doreen Valiente

The gift for me may have been that I learned not to rely on human approval.

What do we seek within? It’s the divinity that the God and Goddess placed within you.

I had another thought. Without experiencing my brother’s ridicule, I would not have a certain form of compassion.

“You can’t pour from an empty cup.” – often attributed as a Zen master’s comment

Some authors suggest: “Strength comes from struggle.”

Here’s a prayer you can use:

My Lord and Lady,
May my tough experiences
Transform into compassion and strength.
So Mote It Be.

May these insights support your path.

Blessed Be,
Moonwater
