The new will always
Open to me when I make
One choice differently.

Pema Chödrön advises that we soften whatever is hard in us when we have the opportunity to choose — which is always.

When confronted with a hook (Shenpa), can I be brave enough not to repeat an old story and instead choose to be still and experience the feelings that lie underneath it all?

That is when the seeds get burnt.

And I simply don’t know what will happen next. Terrifying at one time, this can now be a joyful thing (especially if you are a brave fire sign…) 🙂
