"Perhaps all the dragons in our lives are princesses who are just waiting to see us in action, just this once, with beauty and courage. Maybe everything that scares us is, in its deepest essence, helpless and wanting something we can love." - Rainer Maria Rilke'

And I have to insist that beauty and courage are precisely the same as pain and struggle (every wall is a door, says the Chinese philosopher Wang Yangming) and that at the point of splitting faith, we will always have an agency in determining, to love or not to love.
