Not just the physical sensations but the constant trying—trying to push through, trying to find answers, trying to explain something that feels invisible to others.

“The wound is the place where the Light enters you.” ~Rumi I didn’t know what it meant to grieve a body that was still alive until mine turned on me. It began like a whisper—fatigue that lingered, strange symptoms that didn’t match, a quiet fear I tried to ignore. Then one night, I collapsed. I

“When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.” ~Lao Tzu I’d known for months that I was burned out. The kind of burnout that creeps in quietly—behind your eyes, in your spine, in your calendar. I was volunteering in raptor rescue, monitoring eagle nests as the busy season ramped
