Recently I was thinking about the time I've spent trying to
conquer my fears. And how I went about doing that in cold and calculating ways with very little compassion for myself. Staying trapped in my longing that
someday I'd walk through life fearless
if only I did A, B or C. My process was agitation, overwhelm, defeat. Over and over again. My needs for creativity, acceptance and love weren't met; in fact, they weren't even ships on the horizon.
i very much like that you break a chain of learned reactions by pulling it all "... under your own heart and with your eyes open to see, hear and feel it beating time."
