In building MWMC, I’ve learned the most profound practices often start alone—but are deepened in community. That’s what this is.

I’ll be here daily, sharing the journey. Ask a question or comment below with a 👋 so I can say hello properly!

Mary Oliver had a gift for naming the quiet, monumental shifts in a human life. “The Journey” is perhaps her ultimate anthem for that moment when you choose yourself. 🌟

It’s not about being cruel to others, but about a fundamental truth: you cannot mend another’s life at the expense of your own. This poem is the sound of that first step, taken in the wild night, toward your own salvation.

Swipe through this beautiful, challenging narrative. 👉

Swipe to begin “The Journey” ➡️

It’s a poem to return to again and again. That final line is a mantra.

Have you ever had a moment where you “finally knew what you had to do”? Or are you in the midst of that “wild night” now? You’re not alone. Share in the comments if you feel comfortable.

Cultivate a healthy mind through meditation.

✨ With each breath, we nurture wisdom to see clearly, love to connect deeply, and generosity to give freely.

A peaceful mind is the foundation of a joyful life. 🙏
