What happens with you when you begin to feel unsettled, uneasy?
Notice the panic, notice when you instantly grab for something.
That grabbing is based on hope.
Not grabbing is hopelessness.
If hope and fear are two sides of one coin, so are hopelessness and confidence.
If we are willing to give up hope that pain and insecurity can be exterminated,
then we can have the courage to relax with the groundlessness of our situation.
(Pema Chodron)
