Become A Witness To Your Thoughts.

I Registered The Dukkha Of Self-aversion With Such Clarity That I Knew There Was No Freedom Unless I Could Love This Life Without Holding Back. This Didn't Mean I Was Going To Ignore My Flaws And Stop Seeking To Improve What I Could. But In The Deepest Way, I Was Not Going To Fixate On The Conclusion That Something Was Wrong With Me.

But This Revolutionary Act Of Treating Ourselves Tenderly Can Begin To Undo The Aversive Messages Of A Lifetime.

Longing, Felt Fully, Carries Us To Belonging.

My Prayer Became 'may I Find Peace... May I Love This Life No Matter What.' I Was Seeking An Inner Refuge, An Experience Of Presence And Wholeness That Could Carry Me Through Whatever Losses Might Come.

Our Greatest Longing Is To Be Intimate.
