our most difficult time can open our hearts. i become aware in my own life when going through difficult times that i really have a choice in times of crisis to break down and be broken or to break open, which means to let the shock and grief of a hard time open my heart, a door open and i have a powerful moment in time to see how i helped create the situation i am in and to deeply learn from the experience instead of blaming or feeling like a victim. even if difficult times comes at me out of the blue. those times open my heart to the magic and power of life and give me this inner commitment to live every moment. the people i know who have been broken open through illness, even if they have terminal illness and died from it, lived the years left to them with much more aliveness than most people who stumble and kvetch through long life , because life actually is this mystery and gift . and every moment of it can be full of radical joy and wakefulness, and for some reason in our most difficult time we have the best chance to wake up we may encounter many defeats , but we must not be defeated ,it may even be necessary to encounter the defeat so we can know who we are , so that we can see.... a lot of difficulties have happened and i rose. i did get knocked down flat in front of the whole world and i rose, i didnt run away , i rose right here where i'd been knocked down.but the thing is falling on your face is a forward movement, hmmm, i can get up ! i have so much courage in me that i have effrontery, the incredible gall to stand up, thats it, thats how i get to know myself
