I was burned out.

Lost sense of my true north.

My truth.

My highest self.

I was in the gray brain fog.

Then I listened to a patient.

Like never before.

She asked a poignant question.

The most poignant.

"How you gonna take care of all of us if you can't take care of yourself?"

She called me on my own BS.

Right there in her hospital room.

The gray brain fog lifted.

Very slowly but very surely.

There was a clearing.

A clearing for health.

A clearing for wellness.

A clearing for contribution.

A clearing for connection.

A clearing for true healing.

For the first time in a few years.

Clarity.
