It's kind of like being caught in an undertow. If you struggle too hard while it's pulling you out to sea, you'll drown from fatigue. If you go with the flow for a while, then let the tide carry you back in so that you can simply keep your head above water and slowly make your way back to shore, you'll be fine.
Wow, awesome analogy!!! I've been thinking somewhat in that direction myself. Rather than create drama, just kind of let go and go with things for awhile. Maintain space, focus on self and healthy things that heal....
There is no arriving, ever. It is all a continual becoming.
