Sit in the Fire


Kelly Brandt


This quote was a companion to me when I was coming out of the grief from childlessness. I still call on it now almost 15 years later. It invites me to get curious about my discomfort, I hope it can help some of you as well.

Tragedy and trauma are not guarantees for a transformational spiritual experience, but they are opportunities. They are invitations to sit in the fire and allow it to transfigure us.
