What you avoid doesn't go away. It's get buried even deeper.
And sooner or later, life brings you underground again to meet it.
It isn't depth we're afraid of. It's losing contol inside it.
Because in the darkest moments titles mean absolutely nothing.
Beauty, possesions, credentials, all irrelevant.
Surface appearances don't survive under pressure.
What survives is the part of you that can still feel.
Can you stay with that feeling? Even when it gets uncomfortable?
Because if you do it will change you. Like a seed breaking open underground pushing up though the dark soil and emerging as a whole new colour and flavour. So let the dark do it's work.
Stay with it long enough to take root. Then rise. Even more alive.
