"Yes, it looks bleak. But you are still alive now. You are alive with all the others, in this present moment. And because the truth is speaking in the work, it unlocks the heart. And thereâ€™s such a feeling and experience of adventure. Itâ€™s like a trumpet call to a great adventure. In all great adventures there comes a time when the little band of heroes feels totally outnumbered and bleak, like Frodo in Lord of the Rings or Pilgrim in Pilgrimâ€™s Progress. You learn to say â€˜It looks bleak. Big deal, it looks bleak.â€™"
