The juxtaposition of this first photo really takes me aback. The prose underneath is about the conflicting feeling of driving into work, whizzing on by in a vehicle, while tremendous beauty surrounds during a breathtaking sunrise. The speed of the transportation and inability to fully take in the moment guts me. How could I devote my life to something fabricated within a construct that took me away from what was real?
I look back on the last 4 years and reflect how much I continue to become my true self since leaving bedside nursing at the hospital behind. Looking back on these old photos, I sense so much armor, pretense, protection, fear just trying to shield through a harsh working climate as a deeply sensitive soul. I am grateful to have had to know that armor and equally grateful to routinely trust to let it continue to melt away.
Now I am, with deepest gratitude, able to celebrate the sunrise of each morning from my wide open porch. In heat or freeze, it never escapes me the great simple fortune of being immersed in the elements on the dawn of a new day, supported fully by a livelihood that unfolded one step in front of the other, in faithful divine guidance.
THANK YOU!!!! For keeping me nourished, sustained and held through these last 4 years. Through your connection, friendship, loyalty, attendance, investment, commitment⦠Jennifer Joan Ryan in the form of White Wave Restorations would be a far-off dream if not for it and I know this deeply. Because of your support, I have slowed down and stopped to take it all into my cells.
May infinitely warm, comforting, inspiring, supportive blessings bestow you and ALL beings on this wildly magnetic earth.
Hereβs to year βββββ
LOVE eternal,
Jen π
