That was a characteristically elegant and thoughtful piece of prose.
My favorite passage was:
“[T]he power is not in the ability to be happy and optimistic, but to be able to move through feeling states with a flexibility, richness and openness.”
I think that's an important reminder of how best to live one’s life, even when often beset by setbacks, difficult emotions, and overwhelming experiences.
Finding the presence to do that — I tend to equate presence with the notion of safety as you've defined it in this post — as one of life's greatest and most rewarding challenges.
