Wisdom Is Healing: Redefining Our Relationship With Suffering
Registered Mental Health Counselor and Speaker
Healing Conversation #998
— “Life is a good teacher and a good friend. Things are always in transition if we could only realize it. Nothing ever sums itself up in the way that we like to dream about. The off-center, in-between state is an ideal situation, a situation in which we don't get caught and we can open our hearts and minds beyond limit. — Life's work is to wake up, to let the things that enter into the circle wake you up rather than put you to sleep. The only way to do this is to open up, be curious, and develop some sense of sympathy for everything that comes along, to get to know its nature and let it teach you what it will. It's going to stick around until you learn your lesson, at any rate.” — Pema Chödrön.
