Detachment with love

This means I can still feel compassion for another, as a healthy person would when faced with any suffering, but the compassion is not enhanced with self-centred fear or other negative emotions, distorted in other ways, magnified, or bottled and preserved like a pickled pain on the shelf along with any other feelings I am not letting go of.

Detachment means feeling the feeling then showing up for the next moment and its emotion rather than holding onto a moment that has passed.

Then: my job is not to fix, direct, control, or manipulate but to offer appropriate experience or principles to help the individual find their own path and their own Higher Power.
