Unspoken currents

move beneath the calm surface.

The body listens.

Thank you Rebecca.

Thank you for this reflection.

Appreciate this Rebecca…so often the tension of this feels like ‘the problem’. Even when after years of embracing it I can still find myself scrambling for the safety of a tidy, compliant story that can be offered up to other. True surrender to my wild process brings peace, directs me to stillness, to quiet, to the instruction of my body. A beautiful reminder.

Yes… the pull toward a tidy story can be so strong. And yet the body keeps speaking beneath it. I’m touched this resonated with you. Thank you for sharing so honestly.

Rebecca, great to read your essays on Substack. I don't have your email still, but wanted to let you know that I hope to see you in Port Townsend for the Global Repair Convergence. I'll be there Thurs/Fri.

Sheila, thank you so much. I’m glad the essays have been resonating. It looks like I may not be participating in the Convergence this year after all, but I hope the gathering is rich and meaningful. And yes, please do stay in touch — rebecca@rebeccawildbear.com

Oh wow, this resonates so deeply. I started writing an article about sharing one's truth this past Monday, and after a few lines I stopped- I succumbed to the call of the broken attention. Thank you for articulating so beautifully some of the thoughts that were circling my mind recently. So grateful for your work.
