> Often if I feel like a failure, I say to myself, "You are being the best blade of grass, you can." I use the term blade
of grass instead of person, because it really makes the acceptance thing totally hit home for me. So that has helped
me alot with successes and failures. But the deep deep depression I have felt in the last two years, is so almost
physically painful--in my chest. Perhaps " being the best blade of grass, I can" means living a bit more gracefully
with pain, as I search for new ways to make the pain go away.
ShelliJust wanted to thank you for sharing this. It helped
me a lot. The last 2 years have been really hard for
me as well, more so than usual, with a pain I almost
feel physically in my chest, a lump in my throat, etc.
Being graceful has been hard. But it's always good to
have a mantra. They seem to help me. So thanks.I hope we both find some relief soon.
