If I can forgive the attachment in myself and open to the vulnerability that's underneath it, then rather than fixating on another person to satisfy my need, I'm actually going right to where the needs come from and able to bring a real healing.

As we free ourselves from the suffering of 'something is wrong with me, 'we trust and express the fullness of who we are.'

We want to be in open, loving communion with each other and our greatest fear is intimacy. That it won't work and we'll be rejected.

Extend an act of kindness each day. No one has to know. It can be a smile, reassuring words, a small favor - without expecting something in return.

I don't believe I'm bad, and I do believe I'm good.

If it weren't for desire, the formless would not have come into form and engage creatively.

Fear of being a flawed person lay at the root of my trance, and I had sacrificed many moments over the years in trying to prove my worth. Like the tiger Mohini, I inhabited a self-made prison that stopped me from living fully.
