This was more than a reflection. It was a transmission. A sermon whispered by the nervous system instead of shouted from the pulpit. Thank you for modeling what so many of us fear: stopping before the world grants permission. The honesty in your cycle — burn, offer, rest — is the rhythm most of us are too busy to hear. And this line? “Living in the world in alignment with who I am is its own kind of offering.” That’s gospel.
May we all learn to listen for what is true, not just what is timely.
Thank you, Sian. That distinction felt subtle but important to name. It’s something I’ve sensed for a long time but hadn’t quite put into words until now. I’m so glad it resonated. And yes, the spark returning truly feels like a miracle!
I have found the most wisdom here, listening to what my Soul whispers, even when it goes against the grain of this life. GREAT WORK, my friend!
Thank you, Stephen. Those whispers can be so quiet, yet so potent. Grateful to be on a path with others who are listening in this way.

Wow, thank you. I really felt this as its own transmission. “A sermon whispered by the nervous system” is going to stay with me.
I’ve been in that kind of pause too. It’s hard, but real. This reminded me that slowing down can be its own kind of direction.
I love how you put it: slowing down as its own kind of direction. That hits home.
I’m glad it landed. Feels like something we both know deep down.
I appreciate your distinction between ‘doing’ stillness and ‘being’ still. I’m glad the pause has helped you get you find your spark again.

I hear you. Thanks for this! 🙏
