Also, being grounded requires us to first be in our bodies - capable of even feeling ourselves ON the ground.

I totally forgot i had that book until reading your post - it's in the end table next to our davenport, tucked away mid-read. I flipped through the quotes at the beginning of every chapter and looked at my underlines, and while there are a lot of quotes on groundlessness and ground, nnone like you are mentioning, so I am really hoping that it's a quote YOU made up while reading and being inspired by Pema haha!

Who knows if I'm right ha! But I'm rereading it so will keep an eagle eye out for the quote!

<3 <3 <3 that pema chodron book saved me too. it's funny how the books we love the most are the ones we least likely to have on hand, since they are the most likely to be given away!
