When Practice Touches Close to Fear

A student reflects on how the intensity of the teaching seems to touch something fearful, and the teacher acknowledges the weight of what has been a long-standing theme in their work together.

It seems like this is a really intense topic. It seems really important and really compelling, but maybe it touches close to fears or something.

Yeah, I get it. Is that true for you?

It's not new to me. I think it's been a theme for quite a while now.

Yes, we've talked about it a lot.

Right. It's just feelings that have felt very much at the forefront for maybe a year and a half or so. Or perhaps always, but especially now.
