One of my favorite all time meditation moments was when I was really young. 17 actually. I was on day 3 of a 6 day sesshin. My legs were killing me. Knees were aching. After about 30 min of yoga I came out to sit on the porch and sort of just experienced without noticing that I had no thoughts, only being. I sat there for about 20 minutes just watching ants. It was one of the most peaceful moments in my life and I think it's what helped get me back to meditation after about 20 years in another tradition that didn't support meditation.
I’m an RN, aka an undervalued and underrepresented majority in a system that prioritizes profits and doing more with less. I’m in a publicly funded, top heavy level 1 trauma center and am reminded daily that the career I work so hard for is not how I envisioned. Instead of constantly playing the game and ducking and running for cover around that big ol’ size 12 shoe,(😂) there is a risky but independent path for nurses and caregivers. To help people meaningfully I need to leave the system to pursue creating my own. Thanks for reaching out ✌️
thank you, for your skill and your presence. trauma nurses have assisted me even in the death of my son. i feel the cosmos has the forward for you ~ blessed be. 🙏

Thx for the reminder of that story.
This is a great article.
Thanks Bo.
This message came just at the right time for me. Reevaluating 30 year career due to disillusion in our healthcare system. Thank you!
What field are you in? I am a healthcare administrator before leaving that world in 2009.
