Navigating The Uncertainties Of Life & Death

I operate under the paradox of striving for stability whilst balancing the chaos that comes my way. Recent global events have collided with a collection of challenging personal tragedies that have left me feeling rocked. This podcast begins with a reading of a poem ‘I Took It For Granted’. From there I discuss how I am responding to these events in a way that both ensures my mental stability, as well as best supports those around me.

Thank you. Your poem really resonates with me. In my teens I thought I’d never make it to 30. Now, just turning 40, I look in the mirror and I see myself as a 20yr old. I have been obese my entire life. Lost over 100lbs 3 separate times. My entire life has been focused on dieting. I didn’t get the invites to parties when younger, like I missed out on so much. Now, weighing 170, I’m over doing my bodies limits to make up for the past. Piriformis syndrome has become a literal pain in my ass reality. Coming to terms that I won’t be hiking to the tops of mountains or running any marathons, just being satisfied I can make it up the hillside I reside. Watching people I grew up with, passing away. Getting old truly sucks. I wouldn’t know how a 40yr old should dress. I still have clothes from high school. The Memories seem like yesterday. Still so vivid. My friends and family constantly remind me- I’m an adult now.
But I don’t feel old, except on the days I do.
I appreciate you bringing these subjects to Light.
Peace and love.

This talk touched my soul. I have many similar experiences and understand the importance of having someone who listens and validates. Unfortunately it is a rare trait but I will continue to practice it myself. Thank you for sharing this beautiful message with the world. Namaste 🌛💜🌜
