And, here's the entire quote, "

“Like the dragon, before we can be free to love, we need to touch our own scales and come to terms with our judgmental voices. We will find layers of anger and hatred caused by betrayal and loss, we will find a thousand aversions and resistance to the way things are. Meditative awareness begins to unravel the thought-weave of judgment. We discover a critical commentary that continually evaluates us and all those around us, that keeps us in battle with life as it is..Anger, like the grasping of desire or the tyranny of judgment, is a skin that we can loosen. In the story..the dragon(s) must reveal (himself), layer by layer, and…become more available, more tender. As the first scales…of disguise are peeled away, we begin to learn what is underneath the contraction of anger, judgment, and wanting. Usually we discover a new layer of hurt, loneliness, fear, and grief. This is where offering a tender heart becomes essential. The is the place of courage - the courage to hold in love the hardest pain, our deepest sorrows and greatest fears. It is here that trust and surrender are nurtured. The awakening of this spirit of mercy and kindness is like the visitation of the angels.”
