if you can just pause a moment, catch your breath, and work up the courage to take a look... life gets a lot easier and you don't need to do so much flinching and grabbing when you can see where you're going
for some ppl the courage comes from hearing the screams of pain and anger all around them, beautiful moment of vulnerability out of love ... for others it's the intensity of their own pain and "selfish" desire to feel better... either way is fine imo 🤷♀️
anyway this is my smooth brained takeaway from buddhism, the esoteric part... maybe some other lifetime 🫶
