Truth’s naked radiance,
Cut off from the sense and the world,
Shines by itself.
No words for it.
-Pai-chang (720-814)
We make our way through the day with a set of assumptions
and beliefs that allow us to navigate the demands and expectations of others.
From the commute into work to the tantrums of our little ones. We operate with
a familiar understanding of the world. Trauma can shatter our assumptive world
and throw us into doubt and uncertainty as we struggle with the devastating
effects of disruptive and life-changing events. When we can pause in a safe and
supportive space the opportunity arises to discover the naked radiance of new
truths to help us readjust and reinvest in the world that has changed in
profound ways.
