"People fear the descent when they are taught to expect either meaningless suffering or suffering with the possibility of a benefit that perhaps they don't even want. But when entered purposefully, with courage, humility, and humor, the downward journey becomes a time of what Marion Woodman refers to as "soul-making." -Bill Plotkin from "SoulCraft: Crossing into the Mysteries of Nature and Psyche"
Let your heart break open, but do not fall into the hole. Do not abandon the only home that you truly have-YOUR HEART.
May you go deep so that you can rise up.
Love,
Maura
