To distance ourselves from our experience makes our feelings a liability, while staying in conversation with our experience makes our feelings a resource.
Mark NepoAnything or anyone that asks you to be other than yourself is not holy, but is trying only to fill its own need.
Mark NepoThe pain of life is pure salt; no more, no less. The amount of pain in life remains the same, exactly the same. But the amount of bitterness we taste depends on the container we put the pain in. So when you are in pain, the only thing you can do is to enlarge your sense of thingsstop being a glass. Become a lake.
