Last week, my mom had a stroke—which is a weird, hard thing to know how to talk about on the internet. I’ve tried a few times now to say something about it and my words just weren’t ready. This is how it is with things that shake us to our core, I think. We must honor the pace of our bodies as we tell these stories, but even in this in-between space I have felt glimmers of the Spirit’s presence steadying me while I wait.
.
But, if you’ve been here for awhile you may know how much I value authenticity & honoring what is, in order that we may walk forward. And so here I am, sharing a snippet of an ongoing complex reality that feels important for me to name.
.
Gratefully, and by the grace of God, she is still here. ✨🙏🏻 So many little things have happened that I feel grateful for. She is finding her way again & in rehab to support her in recovery—though these things take the time they take. Another small miracle: we get to see her in just a few days. 🫶🏻 If you’re the praying sort, we’d love your prayers and any space you can hold as she navigates this. One step at a time. Or as my mom and I used to say to each other: keep going, but take breaks. 💛 #TrySofter #StronglikeWater #TakeWhatYouNeed

It has been quite a week in my world and for so many that I love, so I’ll just leave these powerful words from Jaiya John here. They’re for you too, if you need them. #TrySofter #StronglikeWater #TakeWhatYouNeed

In a way, almost all healing work comes down to this: Can we, ultimately & at the pace we are able, gain the capacity to be with the pain?
🌿
Because it’s only in being *with* pain that it will begin to process, move through, and integrate into the larger story of our God-given lives. It’s only in the witnessing; the compassionate attention that we begin to have the opportunity to ever change anything. What a paradox.
🌿
And how do we gain the capacity; this ability to be with? When I think about all these ideas, I think of Jesus, who was a master of paradox. Who told us things like the first shall be last, when you are weak then you are strong, and that we should let little children come... Jesus modeled an upside down kingdom that flies in the face of every ‘hustle your way to healing’ guru there could be—and so it feels so in alignment that our bodies testify to the reality that much of healing is a paradox, too.
🌿
That though we can honor all the ways we sometimes have to survive, we cannot white knuckle our way to healing—it simply won’t work. We can’t hate or shame ourselves there either. But we can try softer; we can find that Love knows the way home. May it be so. #TrySofter #TakeWhatYouNeed #StronglikeWater

It was a true privilege to speak at @wpcpiqua this last weekend about “Learning to Try Softer”; what it means to be fiercely gentle & steward compassionate attention in a world like ours. In a world with so much pain, discrimination, brutality, uncertainty, racism, violence, and disconnection—it is truly counter cultural to do this work.
🌿
And to be honest, I almost decided not to post about it today because I feel the weight of this week for our country. I want to honor that truth. And yet, I continue to believe that “loving our neighbor as ourselves” must always also include our own inner work. May it be so.
🌿
Thank you so much to everyone who came out—I loved seeing your faces. And thank you to the folks at @wpcpiqua for a beautiful event and for all that you’re doing to resource your community. #TrySofter

As the week ends, may you come to find the places,

As the week ends, may you come to find the places, spaces, moments, people, and glimmers of the Divine that allow your body, mind, and soul to exhale. Selah. #TakeWhatYouNeed #TrySofter #StronglikeWater .

Thank you for this powerful song @theportersgate 💛

In a world where so much pain + uncertainty exists
