It requires courage and a certain fierceness to face our inner beasts. Sometimes they are full-blown dragons. They are rarely easy to look at. If we can find ways to inquire with them about the reasons they are with us, they will inform us about rejected and hidden aspects of ourselves. These hidden aspects can sabotage our best efforts, but when we work with them, they become allies. They are blessings in dark disguise.
How can we embrace each other fully, through these human imperfections, shadows, and mistakes?

As we practice self-love and self-acceptance, we fill ourselves to overflowing and from this place, we can truly give to another.
