drenched

Over the last couple of years I have realised something that has completely transformed my experience.

This messy stuff? The uncomfortable stuff that I used to wish would go away? This is the good stuff.

While I knew it intellectually before, I had never really lived it. But now I do. Mostly. [I still resist. Especially when I’m feeling tired. Or hungry.]

But mostly I do and I’m able to lean into that murky, annoying, frustrating uncomfortable mess and come out drenched in joy.

It is the greatest gift.
