“All [things in the world, good and bad] arise from [Source, from] one indivisible field, one Wholeness. Nothing is left out.

In allowing the entirety of what presents itself, fullness replaces the emptiness. Disappointments, failure, rejections - all are part of a tapestry that no longer has holes in it. [...] When you [make peace with and accept life in its fullness, good and bad], you find what you've unwittingly been looking for all along: wholeness.”
