LEAN INTO THE DARKNESS

One of the best lessons I’ve ever been taught.
I would run from the darkness
I would run from the pain.
I’d mask and sedate it with momentary satisfaction.
Then I was taught this lesson.
LEAN INTO IT.
Don’t run from the fear.
Don’t run from the pain.
Feel it.
Be with it.
Understand it.
LEAN INTO IT.
There is much to be learned in the darkness.
There is much to be learned in the pain.
There is much to be learned in the fear.
Don’t run from it.
Don’t mask it.
Don’t sedate it.
LEAN INTO IT.
