Quote by Pema Chödrön

“I used to think about Alice in Wonderland, how she just fell down that hole and she was falling and falling and she was just not grabbing for anything or anything like that. And at one point in my life, she was like a role model to me because of the fact that she—she just fell and waited to see where she was going to land, you know. So for all of us I think we—we shy away from these feelings. And in the process of that, our ability to hold them, our ability to live from that place, diminishes. And the way to become more comfortable, more at ease, in a shifting, changing world—which has always been the case actually—is to make friends with the feelings that are evoked by nothing to hold on to.”
