This moved through me like a prayer I didn’t know I’d been whispering. *“Relief isn’t the same as repair”—*yes, yes, yes. The way you speak of jing and force, of resilience and listening, makes room for a kind of soft power that our culture so often overlooks. Thank you for giving language to the sacred shift from urgency to presence. You’re not just telling your story—you’re charting a path for the rest of us learning to move from force to flow.

Your comment is such a gift to receive. These are the conversations I want to be having more of - about what it really takes to live from a different place 🙏🏼

Agreed! I love the change of perspective to an invitation that sounds more optional and gentler.
