I mean, I remember looking at some horses once and going, oh, they're so beautiful. And this woman who was with me knew horses and she said, well, that one's swaybacked and that one's... And I'm like, shut up. They're all perfect. They're all beautiful. And when you step out of suffering enough times, you sit down and say, I'm not good enough.

I've come out of suffering over and over again, like someone surfacing out of deep water, you know, and taking a breath of the truth. There is no word to describe how utterly precious you are. You have no, like, hear me now, understand me later. I had a near-death experience once.

I mean, I've written about it. I've talked about it. I wasn't dead. I was in surgery for actually scars that were inflicted by sexual abuse when I was a child. I was getting flashbacks, and the scar tissue had started bleeding internally. That happens? It did with me.

It's actually not that uncommon for post-traumatic stress syndrome to re-inflict wounds that were inflicted on you at the time of the trauma. Wow. to get your attention because suffering is always trying to say, here, here, look here. So I was in the surgery and I opened my eyes and I sat up and I looked around and then I thought, wait a second, I'm lying down. My eyes are taped shut.

What's happening? And I looked at the surgeons and I was sitting up and my body was lying down and they were working and And I was like, I became very confused and I lay back down into my body and I looked up at the surgical lights, which were very, very bright. And then in between all of them, and you got to understand this was a time of maximum suffering for me. I was in physical agony.

three little kids under five, all kinds of nonsense. They say we only see a trillionth of the available light spectrum. And it was the whole thing. It was the most beautiful thing. Even for years, if I even read about somebody seeing this light, I would just bawl like a baby. It is so beautiful. And it started to grow and just infuse things. And then it touched me And I was utterly home.
