Letting The Hero Die

I had a fall last week, resulting in severe shock from the whole incident alongside the pain, fear and vulnerability I felt exposed too. I have since been experiencing a plethora of emotions, and needed time to process each one as they have been so raw. In my distress I apparently called out for “help” and my “screams” were not only heard but answered by so many kind humans who held and cared for me in such a short space of real time but the reality was phenomenal. Their presence, their tenderness, their ability to love me in that moment has broken my heart to pieces. That almost sounds like a contradiction, as they each shared of themselves what they could in the moment and that was humility in abundance. Being able to lean into this without fear and trust these people who stopped to serve ultimately was my biggest vulnerability and my biggest strength.
