clinging
"Nephi taught that by clinging to the word of God, as though it be a handrail, we would be able to avoid temptations and not lose our way in darkness. Thus, we would remain on the narrow path." - Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin
"The truth you believe in and cling to makes you unavailable to hear anything new." - Pema Chödrön.
This ideological clinging is a central tension point I plan to work with. I was taught, while growing up, that I must cling to the word of God, lest I fall away into darkness. I now consider clinging to be detrimental, part of what creates suffering in my life. It's when I can let go and find fluidity and balance that I stay with my path.
