“We think that the point is to pass the test or to overcome the problem, but the truth is that
things don’t really get solved. They come together and they fall apart. Then they come
together and they fall apart again. It’s just like that. The healing comes from letting there be room for all this to happen; room for grief, for
relief, for misery, for joy.”
Pema Chodron, When Things Fall Apart
