Lesley,
Thank you for your kind remarks. I don’t believe most people find deep and honest introspection palatable, but it’s necessary for anyone who wishes to attain a higher form of being. Perhaps, in a way, we are lucky when the drive for fearless introspection is driven by the promise of peace.

It describes exactly what I am going through and learning about myself. But where your piece hits home more heavily is how you come to understand that the strengths you developed during adversity are not things to be seen only as armour but as who you are, a strong resilient person. And understanding, also, that you can use this knowledge in your life now.
