"Every time we
feel like taking refuge in a habitual means of escape, we take off more
armor, undoing all the stuff that covers over our wisdom and our
gentleness and our awake quality. We’re not trying to be something we
aren’t; rather, we’re reconnecting with who we are. I
will spend my life taking this armor off. Nobody else can take it off
because nobody else knows where all the little locks are, nobody else
knows where it’s sewed up tight, where it’s going to take a lot of work
to get that particular iron thread untied. You have to do it alone."From Pema Chodron's book Comfortable with Uncertainty
