From: 'When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times'
by Pema Chodron

"The way to dissolve our resistance to life is to meet it face to
face. When we feel resentment because the room is too hot, we
could meet the heat and feel its fieriness and its heaviness.
When we feel resentment because the room is too cold, we could
meet the cold and feel its iciness and its bite. When we want to
complain about the rain, we could feel its wetness instead. When
we worry because the wind is shaking our windows, we could meet
the wind and hear its sound. Cutting our expectations for a cure is
a gift we can give ourselves. There is no cure for hot and cold. They
will go on forever. After we have died, the ebb and flow will still
continue. Like the tides of the sea, like day and night - this is the
nature of things.
