“...I believe our early experiences and beliefs about our place in the world inform who we think we are and what we deserve and by what means it should be given to us.”

“All shall be well,” Yaltha had told me, and when I’d recoiled at how trite and superficial that sounded, she’d said, “I don’t mean that life won’t bring you tragedy. I only mean you will be well in spite of it. There’s a place in you that is inviolate. You’ll find your way there, when you need to. And you’ll know then what I speak of.”
― Sue Monk Kidd, The Book of Longings

“And then it's easier, knowing that I don't have to do it all at once. Knowing that fear comes and goes in waves and all I must do is wait for it to recede before I charge on.
