Deep Dive:

I've been struggling, feeling the ground shift under my feet in precarious ways. My sense of stability is shattered, but I know that what I was can no longer be, and what I am is a mystery. The thorns have pierced and scraped me, but I cannot give up. If I continue to ignore the thorns, I will continue to blunder into their patches.  If I face the thorns, then I can walk around them or over them. Shadow work is not easy, not easy at all. But when things are not going right, I find that reevaluating the sense through which I look, helps me to clarify the situation. So as the ground shakes beneath me, I continue to pull myself out of the entanglement, with knowledge that someday I will step free.
