Gradually , over time, we learn to hold space for even the most difficult of emotions and the gnarliest of issues. We watch as tenderness becomes an exquisite form of self-inquiry, dismantling the walls and armoring of the ego-construct in the most beautiful way.
And we realize, to our deep surprise and overwhelming gratitude, it was never about having the perfect life, personality, body but that the sweet love that comes forth to hold the 'imperfect' one is all that was ever wanted and hungered for. And this love is our very own Self.
Beautifully expressed...and very true for me...patience is a great teacher in life, and it has a wonderful way with ego, I find:) Thank you, Pema!

Dear Mags, oh yes!!! The ego can be such a subtile lier, how many tears must be cried to soften my heart? With all my love Diana

Dearest Pema Mags... Yesterday I discovered that Love lies at the "bottom of the barrel" - waiting for us - behind the Silence. And as you say - it is all that was ever longed for, and all that was ever there.
