Wow, I always get that helpful surge when facing something difficult. I'm not sure what it means if you don't.
not sure what you meant by that.
that you get that surge to help you through it and then it subsides and you are left with what?
maybe you are right and i am still in that surge, and it will subside...
the anger is dissipating - but it is not being replaced with angst or weeping, just quiet determination to keep going in the direction i am supposed to
this really helped - from Pema. went to check my email, and there it was waiting for me - timely as always. i breathed a sigh of relief and realized - i don't need to be angry to be okay - i can just be okay, because i'm not on the roller coaster any more
WANTING TO BE RIGHT
We feel that we have to be right so that we can feel good. We don’t want to be wrong because then we’ll feel bad. But we could be more compassionate toward all these parts of ourselves. The whole right and wrong business closes us down and makes our world smaller. Wanting situations and relationships to be solid, permanent, and graspable obscures the pith of the matter, which is that things are fundamentally groundless.
