  Very late I have heard a kind of whispered sighing
  Not far
  Like a night wind in pines or like the sea in the dark
  The echo of everything that has ever
  Been spoken
  Still spinning its one syllable
  Between the earth and silence.

Clary was not sure what to make of this. "Blisteringly white-hot?" "It's me," said Jace. "Watching me play Scrabble is enough to make most women swoon. Imagine if I actually put in some effort.

If we are holding back from any part of our experience, if our heart shuts out any part of who we are and what we feel, we are fueling the fears and feelings of separation that sustain the trance of unworthiness. Radical Acceptance directly dismantles the very foundations of this trance.
