My Hole


While contemplating during a dyad at one Enlightenment Intensive, I found myself in a hole and realized how ridiculously pathetic I was. I was feeling so overwhelmingly stuck, you would have imagined that I was sitting at the bottom of the hole, twenty feet down and that it was dark and muddy and cold with no way out. My eyes were shut so I opened them and looked around. I found that the hole was indeed about twenty feet deep, but there was a ladder in it, and also the sun was shining a bright ray of light right down into the shaft and the walls of the hole were completely illuminated. Not only that, I was standing on a rung of the ladder, with my head about five feet from the top with the warm sun shining on my face.
