Beloved Grand Eagle
Or: The hard stuff
My friend does not have TMS (in the sense of chronic pain), but she and I have been going through a similar mental and emotional journey. We have such similar personality traits.
Today she wrote something that I think will speak to many of you:
I used to think hard seasons meant I was being punished.
Now I’m choosing a different interpretation.
Life wants to get more life into my life.
More breath.
More movement.
More truth.
More participation.
More return.
Not someday.
Not after everything gets easier.
Now.
Maybe the pressure is not proof that I’m failing.
Maybe it’s an invitation to become more alive, more present, and more fully here.
