Given to air alone, the cuts of this world burn. But when we dare to enter what is deep, the bruises we carry soften and glow. In truth, the more we accept our limitations and surrender to the depths below our woundedness, the more the vastness holds us up. There is no way to know this but to dive.
This quote emphasizes the transformative power of embracing our deeper emotions and vulnerabilities. It suggests that superficial experiences can cause pain, while confronting our inner wounds can lead to healing and illumination. By acknowledging our limitations and diving deep into our true selves, we can discover a sense of support and strength that comes from within.
Mark Nepo encourages us to engage with our emotional depths rather than avoiding them. The act of surrendering to our wounds allows us to experience growth and enlightenment. Ultimately, it is through this journey of self-discovery and acceptance that we find true resilience and support, reinforcing the idea that depth brings healing.
