Our next reading is an excerpt from p. 50 of inward by yung pueblo (brackets and italics are mine):
healing begins with acceptance and culminates in letting go. when a great misery occurs, it remains with us for as long as we hold onto it. attachments form because of the energy we use to keep what happened, or the image of what we want to happen, locked away within our mind and body - this is the cause of tension in our being...
the miracle of healing ourselves is so powerful because in the movement of accepting and letting go, we relinquish the energy of the burden... now [the past becomes] experiences we learn from, lessons that bring us into a present of greater freedom, happiness and wisdom [and perhaps we could include courage]
