In this short clip Joann discusses a simple but powerful metaphor – the sky and the weather.
“You are the sky and your experiences are merely the weather.”
We can use this metaphor to explain putting yourself in the contextual place. The sky contains the weather and the sky stays constant while the weather comes and goes.
