We Are Waiting For The Next Moment

Telling Each Other The Truth And Being Who We Are, And Having Space For The Other Person's Vulnerability In Being Who They Are, Allows Us To Move In A Kind Of Dance Together That's Very Fluid And Graceful.

My First Book, 'radical Acceptance', Grew Out Of The Suffering Of Feeling Personally Deficient And Unworthy. Because Most Of Us Are So Quick To Turn Against Ourselves, The Teachings And Practices Of Radical Acceptance Continue As A Strong Current In 'true Refuge': Nurturing A Forgiving, Understanding Heart Is A Basic Step On The Path.
