rewilding #115 pain

Most weekdays from 8am - 5pm I am working with humans who experience migraine/chronic pain. 

How and why my rewilding journey has this specific focus is unclear to me, and I know it is important. 

Today I was fueled by one of these humans. Along with chronic migraine she carries with her: fibromyalgia, POTS, and pretty severe PTSD (at the age of 23). I have the honor of witnessing her journey on a daily basis and she is killing it (Wenda, if you are reading this…so are you!). Feeling exhausted and wanting to support my own health, I continuously chanted her name today on a run that I didn’t particularly want to be on. Such a gift to me. 

Witnessing and holding another’s pain is a reason to be here now.
