Sometimes the body has to stage a quiet little mutiny before the mind is willing to listen.
This past week, mine did it with a swollen eye and total exhaustion. It leaned over and told me: “We’re done pretending this pace is sustainable.”
The funny thing is, I teach this stuff. But I’m human, too. Once I actually stopped fighting the slowdown, I realized something simple: the body isn’t trying to punish us. It’s just trying to guide us home.
I turned these raw reflections into a short, experimental video piece called *The Parking Lot Monastery.* It’s imperfect, honest, and a little different.
👇 I left the link to the full video, my newsletter, and the latest blog post in the comments below. Take a breath and check it out.
