So here we have it, from Pema Chodron. Know Yourself Although it is embarrassing and painful, it is very healing to stop hiding from yourself. It is healing to know all the ways that you’re sneaky, all the ways that you hide out, all the ways that you shut down, deny, close off, criticize people, all your weird little ways. You can know all that with some sense of humor and kindness. By knowing yourself, you’re coming to know humanness altogether. We are all up against these things. We are all in this together.

I am of the nature to have ill health. There is no way to escape ill health. I am of the nature to grow old. There is no way to escape growing old. I am of the nature to die.

My actions are the ground upon which I stand. There is no way to escape the consequences of my actions. ... -Five Remembrances of the Buddha as translated by Thich That Hanh See more

So true and so exhausting and energizing. July 31, 2019, Pema Chodron Move Toward Difficulty "Everything that occurs is not only usable and workable but is actually the path itself. We can use everything that happens to us as the means for waking up. We can use everything that occurswhether it’s our conflicting emotions and thoughts or our seemingly outer situationto show us where we are asleep and how we can wake up completely, utterly, without reservations."
