"When we come so close to death and so close to our own mortality and also to our own vulnerability, with the very fine line between being very capacitated, on top of our game, to absolutely losing everything - and then realizing that none of those things were actually who we are - that place is a very rich bed of insight. ... in a wheelchair ... That much slowing down, and that much introspection, and that much uncertainty & vulnerability, in the crucible of what makes us be able to move forward in life and in what really informs our ability to rise above these great adversities is what really comes forward in the situations in which you have nothing else left."
"We are all incredibly courageous to have come here in the first place. This is not an easy journey. ... Our hearts are transformers. They can heal & love beyond anything we can even imagine." Mary-Jo Fetterly http://mary-jo.com/
