It is at these moments that we have to encounter difficulty not as something to be cured but in a more elemental sense as simply the way it is. This is a good thing. We stop trying to stamp out this reality, this knowledge of what happened, this feeling of loss, this unbalance, this void. We stop trying to make this thing tiny or kill it off. Instead we expand so we can carry it. When we do this we actually expand our capacity for experience." --Cary Tennis, http://www.salon.com/mwt/col/tenn/2007/10/18/stolen_laptop/ (requires ad view to read article, sorry) I feel this is a beautiful short summary of what the deeper 'emotional work' is all about. -- It's not 100% belief that's required, but 100% commitment.
