Being compassionate enough to accommodate our own fears takes courage.
When fear arrives, just to sit with it, if only for a moment, is the ultimate act of kindness to ourselves.

“…you were saved not in order to live…you have little time you must give testimony.
Be courageous when the mind deceives you, be courageous. In the final account, only this is important.
Beware, however, of unnecessary pride. Keep looking at your clown’s face in the mirror. Repeat: I was called- weren’t there better ones than I…”
-Zbigniew Herbert, from “The Envoy of Mr. Cogito”
