In 1817 poet John Keats wrote of his insight into a special quality processed by those great souls who plumb life’s full depths:
“at once it struck me what quality went to form a Man of Achievement, especially in Literature, and which Shakespeare possessed so enormously - I mean Negative Capability, that is, when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason”
It is a gift to be able to sit with the mysterious, dark and unresolved parts of our life. They are the door through which our breakthroughs lie.
