I know that feeling of a heart cracked wide open during practice. Such an intensely intimate moment of vulnerability but often in a class full of people! I remember the first time I was able to allow myself to let it fully wash over me without self-consciousness, like you describe. For me, spirituality has helped me realise that moments like these are what the path back to self is really like. It's not a single moment of enlightenment. It's a gradual cracking, a series of micro revelations, a slow surrender. And it doesn't always move in a forward direction. But faith in the journey is what it's about for me.
This is a deeply felt piece, Mark. And I wonder if the way you remember your grandfather is exactly how you are supposed process his passing, for now x
Always appreciate your support and empathy Evie ❤️
While penning this piece about my Tūtū-Kāne, I kept hearing this:
"It's funny to think about the things in your life that can make you cry just knowing that they existed, can then become the same things that make you cry knowing that they're now gone." -Ted Lasso

I am quite reasonably convinced that all of my chakras, with perhaps one or two exceptions, are cemented shut. I would love to crack them open 💞
