I was deeply moved reading your Substack about your hip and the path you are walking. The way you wrote it carries such honesty and spaciousness — you’ve woven your own lived experience with the very spirit of Non-Reactive Intelligence.
What touched me most was how you reframed shock and discouragement into presence, how you chose to see your body’s story with gratitude rather than resistance, and how you spoke of Grace as both a companion and a protection. These words are not just reflections; they are living teaching, and they inspire me.
I want to acknowledge the courage in your journey — not only in facing physical pain and difficult decisions, but in sharing them so openly. In doing so, you’ve given others permission to embrace their own limitations with dignity and to remember that freedom is always found in presence.
Thank you for offering your voice so authentically. I feel grateful to walk alongside you in this unfolding.
My heart is with you as you face this news; you are truly meeting this challenge with grace. Like you, I strongly prefer vigor and vitality, yet the body is such a humbling teacher, pointing the way to the deepest embodiment of our authentic divinity, beyond our mind and preferences. I love that you have the wisdom to feel your genuine feelings of disappointment and then to open your heartmind to all possibilities as you braille your way forward.
