Avraham jumps into embodied action by living in his purpose even through his pain. Lot’s wife looks back and gets destroyed along with her past, in a world that once was. Both had moments of transformation. Avraham expanded with his pain, and the lot’s wife contracted with her pain. They both had clarity. They both had free choice. One acted on it, the other chose not to.  Inspiration demands embodiment, and freedom requires shedding.
