We need to rediscover the energy that was in us as a child, before we got caught up in our roles and masks. This freedom, that comes from deep within, is needed to cross the obstacles that face us and overcome the limitations which our fears impose upon us. We sometimes have to dare to reach out. If not, we stay trapped where we are, divided, unable to reach beyond the hurt or the problem we find ourselves in.
As once the winged energy of delight
carried you over childhood’s dark abysses,
now beyond your own life build the great
arch of unimagined bridges.
Rilke
