Yes, that’s exactly how I feel as well. There is so much giving, and you do so gladly I think - but it comes at a cost. When I read the crane wife for the first time I was sooo moved. That’s why I love stories so much, they put words and visuals to the feelings we can’t articulate. That’s a beautiful and poignant thing you said - “our vitality continues to doe when we fill our own cups” yes. 100 times yes.
The story of the Crane Wife makes me think of the sacrifices mothers make for their families.
I have run on empty many times. Plucking feathers so that others may be nourished.
I have found that we can be sustainable by nourishing our bones. Our vitality continues to flow when we will our own cups.
Thank you. This brought up many good points and areas of focus within me.
