“How much sorrow can I hold? That’s how much gratitude I can give.
If I carry only grief, I’ll bend toward cynicism and despair.
If I have only gratitude, I’ll become saccharine
and won’t develop much compassion for other people’s suffering.
Grief keeps the heart fluid and soft,
which helps make compassion possible.”
- Francis Weller, 'The Wild Edge of Sorrow: Rituals of Renewal and the Sacred’

While in process of handling deep new realisation, May the double sided nature of all things become apparent,
to rather reflect not inadequacy, but your own inner expanse and strength, enough for you to choose to stand outside of the thoughts and witness oneself with Wholeness.
You are here to digest and build - part of this is seeing what no longer serves and being able to let it pass on.
In the energetic realm it needs to be grieved for it to be transformed.
