“Yes, it looks bleak. But you are still alive now. You are alive
with all the others, in this present moment. And because the truth is
speaking in the work, it unlocks the heart. And there’s such a feeling
and experience of adventure. It’s like a trumpet call to a great
adventure. In all great adventures there comes a time when the little
band of heroes feels totally outnumbered and bleak, like Frodo in Lord
of the Rings or Pilgrim in Pilgrim’s Progress. You learn to say ‘It
looks bleak. Big deal, it looks bleak.’”
