so humbled and honored to walk through this threshold into a deathworker and to deepen and expand my carework.

making the most difficult moments in life a little easier. being there for people. studying their wisdom. doing the hard work. the scary work. the painful work. bearing witness, holding space. this is sacred work. this is holy work. there is much to be done in this world. there is so much to learn in the process.

the greatest mystery as the greatest teacher. this body, this mind, this heart a forever student. i am so small and humbled in the midst of all of this. i don’t know who i will be on the other side of this apprenticeship. i don’t know who i will be years down the line having sat at the feet of death so very many times in gratitude. in grief.

#been feeling very reflective this morning and i’m just in awe of the way the path paves itself #how my spirituality has grown and evolved into something so much less self centric and so much more profound #how i can honor this growth instead of making a past version wrong #just gentleness and gratitude and trying to #curate a life that is teeming with intention and awareness #and also noticing the people coming into my life who reflect that growth back to me #chills from the beauty and power of it all #tingles all over when i contemplate death only to arrive at the sanctity of life #and feeling gratitude for myself. who i am. the things i desire. not in an egoic way but instead in a refreshing way #like i can exhale #like i’m allowed to be who i am and love them #outside of expectations or capitalism or money or /doing/#just thankful for my heart and the fact that i am creating something meaningful #and thankful that that’s something i really desire #and i just feel so clumsy and full of love and eager to learn because i can feel how much i do not know #and meeting myself with tenderness here #and in doing so the tenderness i’m able to have with people who come to me #<3 eeeep #everything is and can be so truly truly magical #and allowing myself to be impacted so deeply by things has been the key to unlocking that magic that is always here. that is always around #all of us.#this wonderous thing that is alive and wants to be found
