Vulnerability

Stop the fearing. Shut off the news. Turn off social media.

I did not grow up consciously knowing what I know now or doing what I do today. We all carry the innate ability to heal…

When we swim upstream against the natural rhythms and cycles of the Universe - against what is asking to move, die, or transform - we create unnecessary chaos. Resistance doesn’t stop change...It only makes it harsher.

But what does it say about us when we continuously accept the scraps of life, love, and energy?

I hold space for the warriors who enter my life, not as a place for them to stay, but as a place for them to remember. A place where the wandering Ronin can rest, recalibrate, and find his way back to the truth of his heart. Back to the fire he thought he lost. Back to the strength he feared had been fractured beyond repair.

To let go is to embrace all that comes from loving deeply. And in that surrender - in that movement through evolution - there is strength, there is hope, and there is the unending rhythm of life itself, always calling us to keep moving forward.

But somewhere along the way, the world decides it needs to shape us - to make sense of us, to fit us neatly into boxes so it can teach, manage, and explain what it doesn’t understand.

We will not always agree. Nor should we. Diversity of thought and being is part of the beauty - and the ache - of being human. But what we can do is make space within our quiet mornings to feel the weight of our shared humanity. To allow collective grief, regret, guilt, and sorrow to flow through us rather than calcify within us.
