path full of mud in my face

Sometimes when you just get flying and it all feels so good and you think, ‘This is it, this is that path that has heart,’ you suddenly fall flat on your face. …You say to yourself, ‘What happened to that path that had heart? This feels like the path full of mud in my face.’ …It humbles you. It opens your heart.
(Pema Chodron)
