8. What a change of pace you are offering! It moves within a far different place than the battles here
I find this part especially apt:

"There are two ways to escape suffering it. The first is easy for many: accept the inferno and become such a part of it that you can no longer see it. The second is risky and demands constant vigilance and apprehension: seek and learn to recognize who and what, in the midst of the inferno, are not inferno, then make them endure, give them space."


We need to find this second way to escape this inferno that ends up as wasted energy better used elsewhere, and to much better effect.
May we give space to those who seek to not be engulfed in the mad fire, but to see beyond the blinding flames of unhinged desire.

Thank you LadyVT.
thank you.
