Wake Book by NahMo
Life is a wonder. Life is also a challenge. There are wonders in life’s challenges if we look closely
Introducing Wake, a collection of fairy tales and stories about finding true magic in the wake of challenges.
I pledge to hold myself in compassion today
After working through the pandemic in a very busy ICU for the last 2+ years, I am beyond burned out. I find no joy in what I thought I was destined to do. I am struggling. I am not doing well.
I look for help. There are resources but that can only go so far. Troubles keep mounting and I feel I’m weighed down deeper and deeper into the oblivious abyss.
Then I see a flicker of light. It flickers like a heart beat. Blink. Blink. Blink. It keeps ticking. The more I pay attention to it, the brighter the flicker becomes and the ticks grow louder.
That light comes from within. It’s the mindfulness I have long forgotten about. I used to know it so well, then I chose to bury it among the piling life problems.
But it’s still there, flickering and ticking, waiting for me to rediscover it.
This page is my personal journey through mindfulness and dharma practice to find the inner peace and freedom we are all born with. Please join me.
