As we free ourselves from the suffering of 'something is wrong with me, 'we trust and express the fullness of who we are.'
Tara BrachWe are uncomfortable because everything in our life keeps changing -- our inner moods, our bodies, our work, the people we love, the world we live in. We can't hold on to anything -- a beautiful sunset, a sweet taste, an intimate moment with a lover, our very existence as the body/mind we call self -- because all things come and go. Lacking any permanent satisfaction, we continuously need another injection of fuel, stimulation, reassurance from loved ones, medicine, exercise, and meditation. We are continually driven to become something more, to experience something else.
Tara BrachManaging life from our mental control towers, we have separated ourselves from our bodies and hearts.
