Stay Open

Stay open. The hardest thing about difficult times is that they make us want to close down, retract. But if we are somehow able to find a way to courageously stay open through the pain (feeling all the pain, not pushing it down) and actually let the the crumbling crack us right open (rather than close up shop)… that’s where true transformation happens. And just like magic, in time and in ways beyond our comprehension, our sufferings are able to become blessings.
