This Is a Wave in the Ocean

We can't feel belonging to our world if we don't let the parts of ourselves belong. We have to really open tenderly to the parts inside us and let them be there. This is a wave in the ocean, because the suffering comes when we're identified with them. In the moment you say, oh, this too and offer kindness that nurturing, you become more lake likeso. It's like the difference between having die released into a msink and having that same amount of diereleased into a lake.
