"I am afraid of the hum of the room when the sound of the truth still rings long after it is spoken." this made me cry. This whole piece is exactly what I needed to read right this moment. Thank you infinitely.

The sensory imagery and emotional essence is beautifully expressed, Stephanie. I read through one then read the last sentence of each paragraph next. I could feel the flow. I’m celebrating it all these days. I defunkify the trauma stuff. I carry it all with a grain of salt. I’m less concerned at 55 with villains and heroes. Humans being humans in all the messy clay and miracle of breath. I’m even less concerned with “good” energy “bad” energy. Too often wellness teachings are categorized in ways that separate and harm. So much is on a marvel of a spectrum to limit myself and my beloveds so. Anyway, and so it is…. Ever learning and expanding! Thank you for being-ing you and for sharing your voice! 💛

I try to stay away from good and bad too and sit better with heavy and light. Sometimes the load is so heavy that we/others carry that all they can feel is weight and answer underneath it. Sometimes it’s heavy so we sit on top to see better. It’s not easy either way but taking steps towards healing changes our perspective.
