Each strand of beads is a message in Morse Code. Here is what the beads say:
everything is fine (x2)
burn it down (x2)
did we fail his body (x2)
the stressors of healthcare work can strip us of our armor, leaving us raw and vulnerable.
finding peace in the flow state.
human connection through our vulnerability and stories gives us strength to change our giants.
you gotta resurrect the deep pain within you and give it a place to live that's not within your body.
your body is not a coffin for pain to be buried in.
an inner voice tells you when the picture is beautiful.
but now i can grow something else. something that still shines.
stomp on me. i will be rooted more deeply. i am a wildflower.
don't strive so hard.
i can't be sadder than my patients. rawness. contained.
feelings. acknowledge. feel. heal.
vulnerability is valued and anger and outrage are not too much.
we do grow together.
perfect. you cannot have a bad day.
our creativity. our colors. connect us through darkness with light.
where do you put it when all of the shelves are full.
the fire burns. the fire cleanses.
i get to feel it all. all that i am. all that i need.
the blazing fire makes flame and brightness out of everything thrown into it.
in each moment the fire rages, it will burn away a thousand veils and carry you a thousand steps toward your goal.
