我们经常摆脱疼痛,这只有在受伤之前才有帮助。一旦痛苦,似乎唯一的出路就是通过。就像有人从船上掉下来一样,努力呆在水面上只会使情况变得更糟。我们必须接受我们在那里并安顿足够的地方,以便我们可以被深处携带。这样做的意愿是信仰的起源,赋予比我们更大的电流。甚至掉落的叶子在湖泊中漂浮,展示了投降如何使我们振作起来。
(We often move away from pain, which is helpful only before being hurt. Once in pain, it seems the only way out is through. Like someone falling off a boat, struggling to stay above the water only makes things worse. We must accept we are there and settle enough so we can be carried by the deep. The willingness to do this is the genesis of faith, the giving over to currents larger than us. Even fallen leaves float in lakes, demonstrating how surrender can hold us up.)
