So what do we find when we are down there with our headlamp illuminating the dark corners? If we take a seat on a large boulder that happens to be there waiting for us, it will show itself. It might come in the form of light or shadow, subtle or strong, but it will come. And when it does, know that it is your essence longing to be acknowledged, felt and seen.
Lately I have been wondering about mine because I have not been able to directly touch lives in the way I was used to for so many years, before Covid. I have been searching for what my essence looks like without the ability to do face to face work. It has been confusing, disconcerting, and at times, maddening. But just very recently it appeared in another form, through my writing, and how I can take that to another level. I see a level of service to others, albeit from this new distance.
