Can anyone remember the moment when they realized the hole had finally been filled?

When all the longings no longer remained a challenge? When fears no longer were insurmountable? When the inner landscape was no longer a waste ground prone to winds and storms?

I think it's starting to happen for me right now but it has taken a long time and sometimes I take a few steps back.

I remember almost being there, being so close I could smell it, taste it, touch it.... Then Someone pulled the plug out of the bottom, I was re-traumatized, only this time it was worse, so much worse... I had seen the other side. I am however almost there again, getting closer and closer... and I am super gluing the plug in at the bottom of that D* hole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it can be very fragile at first. Much like a muscle that needs to be worked on to strengthen.

I'm "on my way". My heart is surrounded by lots of sadness however there is hope when there was none before. It's an always evolving process but I feel like things are moving in the right direction. I don't think the work ever 'ends' but with one small step there's another and before you know it you can look back and see how far you've come.

I had a black hole - infinitely deep and dark - that filled my chest from edge to edge. Later it shrank to become a piece of coal - black and hard, but a simple object and not a supernatural force. Now it has gone completely.

That's not to say that my problems are all solved!

I am not certain what the hole was made of. Despair, probably: life without hope. It shrank as I became less depressed.

My life is totally different then it used to be. Every thing that I worked on improved my life a little at a time. I was very thankful for each improvement.
