Recover loudly. That’s a meme I took from elsewhere (the photo). I don’t actually much like the word recover. I started using the word TRANSFORM more often. It’s much more embracing of the mystery. While recovering suggest going back into something known, transforming actually incorporates both the movement back and the mystery of the present moment as we move into the mystery of reality. There is no future but this moment. We live here and watch in order to come to understand.

I wrote the below words for Facebook and then decided to make this post.

“that’s right. I also wouldn’t be alive if I hadn’t been the voice of Beyond Meds…an early, now prototype, of all the relentless chatter out there. It’s weird because it brought so much chaos as well. And I’ve had many tell me the words I shared altered their lives for the better. My entire life is paradoxical and I also know without my incessant need to **speak it** I would not be alive. there are no therapists for many on the fringe…hence those who read end up giving as much as they recieve. thank you for those who’ve listened, heard and witnessed the journey. Starting when I did with the advent of the internet means I’ve already been largely forgotten and that too is weird. I am waiting around for act II now. Listening, seeing and waiting to see if there is actually anything left to say or do. Peace out, in surrender. Sister Monica”
