Quote reblogged from hollow vantage with 117 notes

Now I am thirty-six and I am in Nepal and I am finally remembering what I was told I would forget.
The voice inside the mountain speaks to me, tells me again not to be afraid, tells me that there is only love in this world. Our choice is to be in love or to be in fear. But to choose to be in love means to have a mountain inside of you, means to have the heart of the world inside you, means you will feel another’s suffering inside your own body and you will weep… . You will under­stand that this pain is your own because you are not separate, from life, or from anyone or anything else. But you will fall into a forgetting. You may die before you remember. You will forget that you know this, again and again. Do not be afraid. The body remembers, it never forgets. It is your own knowing that you hide from and do not know.

Do not be afraid. The body remembers, it never forgets. It is your own knowing that you hide from and do not know.
