I love it when the ripple effects of stories spread out, inviting authenticity, vulnerability and raw human beauty. Sparked by our last Wisdom Story, I share another guest post from a deep and wonderful soul, Lorna Howarth. Lorna and I have known each other for little over a year and in that short space of time have empowered and encouraged the other to show up and stand up in the world, sharing our stories and giving others permission to do the same. Lorna is the Co-Founder of The Write Factor and an amazing soulistic adventurer.
As the famous John Muir quote says “the mountains called” and this week, I ran home into their arms.
Every so often I come across a story that stops me dead in my tracks.
A memory so raw and real that it brings tears to my eyes and makes me breathe deeply into the beautiful paradox of our human lives. This Wisdom Story is just such a sharing. I am honoured to offer this out to you all with the author’s permission as an expression of the joy and light that can be found in the darkness. May it remind you of the deeper purpose hidden in our fear. May you breathe in the sweet freedom that waits when we can restory our human darkness into our human light.
This week I have been very quiet which is unusual for me.
In the quiet, I have been listening.
My dreams have been dark of late, yet the imagery I dance with in my sleep is not mine alone. How could it be? When we live in an inherently interconnected world where we are each a puzzle piece of the whole picture.
