“Insane people are always sure that they’re just fine. It’s only the sane people who are willing to admit they’re crazy.”
— Nora Ephron, writer and filmmaker
Only on the boundary can you see both sides and distinguish one domain from another. On either side, within each area, you are immersed in the mindset of that area and subject to that domain’s notion of common sense. The world will always make some version of sense from within any domain.
There is a crazy person inside you. Whoever they are, they need rescue not execution. But they will not be rescued until you give them permission to find their own peace. It’s a kind of death that you allow for a part of yourself, and it does feel frightening. Setting free the insane parts of yourself requires seeing, feeling, and remembering them fully. It’s shadow work.
