Let’s Walk!

“The task we must set for ourselves is not to feel secure, but to be able to tolerate insecurity.”

Erich From, German social psychologist

“It is an act of courage to acknowledge our own uncertainty and sit with it for a while.”

Psychologist Harriet Lerner

“We might feel that somehow we should try to eradicate these [8] feelings of pleasure and pain, loss and gain, praise and blame, fear and disgrace. A more practical approach would be to get to know them, see how they hook us, see how they color our perception of realty, see how they are aren’t all that solid. Then these eight challenges become the means for growing wiser as well as kinder and more content.”

Pema Chodron
