Bright Sadness
Richard shares his experience of feeling both deep sadness and contentment simultaneously, and how this paradoxical state is a result of living at a deeper level of communion or love. He explores the heaviness of this experience and the challenge of trying to convey it to others who may not understand. The contemplative mind embraces the coexistence of intense emotions and sees how opposites complement and deepen one another.In this clip
