So, to begin healing, stop kid ding yourself that a little feel-good of the wrong sort will take care of a broken leg. Tell the truth about your wound, and then you will get a truthful picture of the remedy to apply to it. Don’t pack whatever is easiest or most available into the emptiness. Hold out for the right medicine. You will recognize it because it makes your life stronger rather than weaker.”

The trick is to enjoy it fully but without clinging, and when the time comes, let it dissolve back into the sea.”
