I was coming out of my 3rd, most painful dark night when I discovered you and we began working 1:1 :)

This is an observation I've been noticing over the past few months, but the men I've known from my past and some I know in my immediate location/neighborhood/business, etc. are beginning to experience a dark night and they are very confused and grasping for that self image.

Thank you, once again Erin for speaking truth I need to hear. Full transparency: I deleted this newsletter earlier this month because I didn’t think I fit the “bill” as someone going through difficult times (as you’ve noted at the beginning.) And then yesterday happened. And the eel prior. And alas, here I am.

This week’s shooting at Robb Elementary was too much. Trying to built and push Enlivened Studios is too much. Witnessing my husbands seemingly unconscious struggle with work is too much.

And I’m tired. And I felt I’d “lost it”. Until I read these words. We’ll, that - and a good night’s sleep (albeit dream filled and restless.)

So what not? I ask myself.

And my soul and spirit say: REST. Put it all down for a while and REST.

Thank you.

holy shit. holy MA! i am of the lifetimes of the dark night of the soul variety. or at least this lifetime. well, more accurately, my adult life in this lifetime. since i have been about 19 yrs. old...am now 52. and excruciating memories of dark nights from other times, other bodies. glimpses, moments, brief periods of emergent spring, little shafts of light through the prison of the dark night window. what strikes me too is the umbrella of being in KALI YUGA time...seems whatever emergence arises, still this epoch's umbrella is still felt by this soul. thank you for this true kindness...this soothing balm, this wisdom, my dear dear Erin. thank you so very much.
