"It is necessary to go out into deep water because that's where the pain is. But in order for it to be safe to do that it’s so important first to learn how to float in shallow water: because to learn how to float in shallow water, is to learn to be vulnerable and safe at the same time. So once you have that feeling, it's what lets you move out into deeper water; knowing, if it gets too deep, too fast, you know how to find your way back again, and get re-grounded. Not to run in the other direction, but just to get restored to head back out where you need to go. And that willingness to do that over and over and over again is what sets you free and that's really a lot of what this journey's all about. Little, by little, by little, grace, by grace, by grace, you learn that floating in shallow water is the same as floating in deep water."
