Added 2022-05-07 00:41:04 +0000 UTC"Anger, like the grasping desire or the tyranny of judgment, is a skin we can loosen. In the story the princess and the dragon must reveal themselves, layer by layer, and both become more available, more tender. As the first scales and gowns of disguise are peeled away, we begin to learn what is underneath the contraction of anger, judgment and wanting. Usually we discover a new layer of hurt, loneliness, fear and grief. This is where offering a tender heart becomes essential. This is the place of courage - the courage to hold in love the hardest pain, our deepest sorrows and greatest fears. It is here that trust is nurtured. The awakening of this spirit of mercy and kindness is like the visitation of the angels. There comes an energy to forgive, a new softening and receptivity of the heart." - 'After the Ecstasy, the Laundry,'
