Fighting your suffering disrupts the flow of life. Surrender to your suffering and the gates of understanding swing open.
Suffering is magnificent music—the moment you give ear to it. But you never listen to it: you always have a different, private, stubborn music and melody in your ear which you will not relinquish and with which the music of suffering will not harmonize.
Hermann Hesse
No matter how deeply you are wounded, there are great forces at work that you can tap into for comfort and support.
”Healing,” Papa would tell me, ”is not a science, but the intuitive art of wooing nature.”
W. H. Auden
Summoning the strength to make it through just one more day brings you that much closer to finding some measure of peace and acceptance.
If you’re going through hell, keep going.
Winston Churchill
