you've fallen many times and always came back. Thank you for being held, holding yourself. Beautiful. (listened to the audio. very soothing)

hmmm.. I'm rubbing up against the mystery here. "I always came back". I was surprised that line got highlighted in this text. Why is it significant here?

You say "Thank you for being held". What a surprising and wonderful combination of words. It really makes me smile in recognition of the soft and subtle work or joining hands with the stable love 🙏 How rare, to be seen for that ❤️

So it is about trust. About releasing the unnecessary grasp. The knowledge that it, whatever it is, shall pass. But that you shall remain. You always did.

for me that is the key. To realize that getting up again, coming back again to yourself, is the work. The resilient muscle being built. For me that is the transformation, the remembering. To allow ourselves to be held is hard sometimes. we are always looking out, but when we allow it from within. that is everything. I think people miss that part so much in all the searching and striving. But it's the coming back.

mm yes thank you for reminding me! This seeing is really connecting for me right now. I'm starting to see the significant unfolding.

The muscle of coming back to hold oneself: The compassion, the fullness, the sovereignty, the will, the love, the centeredness, the stability, the spaciousness, the awareness. And how as I develop trust in that muscle, falling becomes part of the play.

can't get up again if we don't fall. Round and round we go. I'm reminded of my sons learning to walk. We didn't scream- "you should be better at this! why aren't you running by now?" we went. "look at you! you'll get it, would you like a hand." Of course they all learned to walk. We all do. I hope we can all encourage ourselves as we go.
