"...the great need for...loving-kindness toward oneself, and developing from that the awakening of a fearlessly compassionate attitude toward our own pain and that of others."
"...dissolving the dualistic tension between us and them, this and that, good and bad, by inviting what we usually avoid. My teacher, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche, described this as 'leaning into the sharp points.'"
"...may we not forget...that 'Chaos should be regarded as extremely good news."
from When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times, Pema Chodron

Leaning into the sharp points sounds awfully uncomfortable...painful, even!
