Some days, disrupt is disguised in simple gentle presence, and salt.“The cure for anything is salt: sweat, tears, or the sea,” wrote Isak Dinesen, author of Out of Africa. Time and again Dinesen’s words have proven true to me. On this Friday night, I add, so too is a hot soak with bath salts and essential oils. It’s been a week, with death, division, detox, and delight. In times like these, salt is blessing. So I soak.
How do you take care of you, when it is time to unplug and recharge? Especially during times when the demands of your life, and those for whom you love or serve are many?
I find grace and fierceness originate in sweat, tears, the sea, and a long, hot soak.
