Let go of the wall
In a bath, a shallow pool or a warm spring, rest one hand on the edge and breathe. When you feel ready, lift your hand and let the water hold you for three slow breaths. Notice what was holding you all along.
“Fear is not the opposite of healing ~ it is often the doorway to it.”
From Passage One, The Fear That Opened the Way in Surrender to Self, Amal Lana’s lyric memoir in thirteen passages.
