I found it was
possible to walk through
whatever appeared
on the surface of life.
I found comfort
in my ability
to hold and honor
my own experience,
meeting the outer world
with renewed compassion —
trusting
it was safe
to remain connected
with the natural
stillness within
when the contrast
seemed most vast.

I visited your blog. I love what you said about not sharing photos of skinny bodies or the smiling recovered weight ones. You are right. It’s the in-between places where real healing takes place. I lived it. I am now 44 and have a healthy little 8 year old daughter.. I don’t struggle anymore with my mind. And I don’t fear relapse.
If you ever get stuck or just need,an ear, I’mean happy to share. ♡ Laurie

I found this quote. It seems to fit here.
“The world is made of duality. Whatever you are presently experiencing, the potential for its opposite to arise is equally there. Neither is you. ”
