Someone I loved once gave me a box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand that this, too, was a gift.

The Uses of Sorrow, a poem… and one which I have been diving deep-long into, marinating around in, and drinking-slurping-sometimes-choking down. Wisdom is a big pill to swallow and lies bitter in the belly until it is allowed time, patience, stillness to dissolve, integrate, become.
It’s where I’ve been. It’s where so many of us have been finding ourselves (and I mean that a couple ways) – in that field beyond right-doing and wrong-doing, way out there (and by that I mean, way in there.)
It’s been a lot, ya know?
The only way out is through.
Out of the pain… the only way out of it is to lean into it, become curious, open-hearted, brave… because the end of pain means the beginning of vulnerability and authenticity… and that shit is real (as in real messy.)
YOGA has been instrumental in my awakening-healing-thriving journey in this past six months. The asanas (poses) with the breathwork has helped me “land” in my body in a way like never before. I’m deeply grateful for this practice.
I teach in The Love Shack – here’s the schedule and details – and I’d love for you to join us on this trippy trip.
What will you do with this one wild and precious life?
