    Life crises have a way of doing that: they strip you of your old certainties and throw you into chaos. The only way to survive is to surrender to the process. When you emerge, blinking, into the light, you have to rebuild what you thought you knew about yourself.

    Thine is the kingdom. Take the throne. Sit on the chiefest chariot. Take up Thy lodging in my heart forever and suffer not the dead child to lie in the place of the living child and a dead world and damnable lusts, where my Lord should lodge.

    Abiding means letting everything be as it already is – no matter what it is. If you're feeling good, let that be as it is. If you're feeling bad, let that be as it is. No matter what your emotional, physical, or mental state, let it be as it is and don't wish it to be otherwise. If you want it to be different from what it is, you're not abiding; you're picking and choosing and trying to control your experience. (p. 29)
