When things fall apart . . .

A passage worth sharing by Max Strom, a yoga teacher I studied with many years ago. I suggest reading then pausing and read again and again:

"Sometimes when our life falls apart it is because it is not held together with consciousness, it is held together by illusion, and so it crumbles, and what is left is actually a clearer vision of what is real and of value. So many have found their life path only after what they had formerly perceived as their life crumbles to dust. In other words, it is the illusion of our life which crumbles, leaving reality in it's place."
