Crowning Glory
Life is, indeed, exactly like this. In case you haven’t noticed, if you’re not dead, the Cosmos is providing everything you need.

Undoing Trauma’s Knots
There’s no question that in every life, stuff happens. Some of the stuff that happens is really, really uncomfortable. Some of it even qualifies as a full-blown trauma.
It’s important to recognize that my goal here is never to diminish or negate the traumatic experiences that you have experienced. However, healing and moving on requires one thing.
You must learn that trauma is one real moment in time. Thus, a trauma does not go on.
What can go on is imagining (and suffering over) this past event.
