Bored of business as usual. Afraid of change. Feeling stuck between the two. Discomfort isn’t the problem here. Giving myself permission to get comfortable with either boredom or fear; that’s the problem. Choose discomfort. The right kind of discomfort. Then lean into it in a life giving way.

Notes from a workplace contemplative—where the inner life meets the outer setting
I’m an average middle-class worker, a registered nurse, pursuing integration of work, home, and community. One seamless, healthy existence lived out in many contexts, seeking to move with openness and curiosity first, then advocacy; Held as a small, beloved part inside a much larger, mysterious story. I draw on many perspectives and disciplines to explore how my/our participation in a broken system may contribute to wholeness, reconciliation, and (if at all possible) redemption.
