🐘 A Note on Healing and Hope
Sometimes, the weight of the year and the sadness from the past feel too heavy. I was crying today because of all that pain. (also because apparently having TCM treatments unblock deep-seated emotions trapped in the body). 😔

A friend reminded me of something very simple and true: Tears are not wasted.

They are like the rain that waters the dry parts of your heart. Slowly, a beautiful pink rose will start to grow from that hard ground. 🌹

Rumi says if a door doesn't open, just stay there. Soon, secret paths will show up that only you can see.

I am choosing to believe in that secret path and the rose. Sending peace to anyone else carrying a heavy heart thru the holidays. You are strong.
