I just wanted to share that I was feeling very strongly during the meditation: a lot of gratefulness for you, for your accompanying me. You have been so generous, especially over the last few weeks. And also for not making things okay, for gently taking my head and making me look toward the pain and the fear, saying, "It's okay, you have to look at it," and not letting me become paralyzed.
Keep going.
I also feel grateful for the clarity. Sometimes you are like a beam of light that really helps me, because I have been so confused, and it helps.
It is so strange sometimes, how we have to go through hell to see more reality, isn't it? You're very welcome.
