The Little “D”: Depression After An Ultramarathon

February 27, 2018 Psychology / Ultrarunning3 Comments

Two days after my most recent ultramarathon and I was walking down the street wondering whether or not I care if people can tell I’m on the brink of crying. Always the worrier, I think about the outside world’s perceptions rather than how I’m actually feeling. Should I stuff it …

Dark and light always cycle. Cold and warm ebb and Dark and light always cycle. Cold and warm ebb and flow. At twilight we trust that the sun will return. Why would it be any different with our own bodies? With our emotions? Over and over again I am invited to see the inherent cycles in ev. ry. thing. Invited to trust the cycle. To seek and find healing and rest in the dark. Because the light will return and you can take it in with curiosity and resilience. And love.

See this sparkle? It helps me to illuminate what I See this sparkle? It helps me to illuminate what I already know to be true: that I have gifts, that I have excitement, that I have ability to serve. 

And even as that sparkle helps me to remember what is true, it is a beacon for YOU. It is a beacon to those who also know: even if you are still growing and healing that you are whole. You were always the whole you, even if you is evolving and blossoming. A seed is still Whole. A sprout is Whole. In the mighty oak tree… Also Whole. 

See this light? It's here. Now let's see yours. I know you have it. 😘🔮

there are already a few, deep inside me. But that doesn't mean there can't be more, all waiting for just the right moment when the conditions are wiggly and the humus is fertile.

And above all, let your light illuminate and reflect off anything that is around, drenching the view in vibrance.
