Last May, around the time the Blackthorns bloomed, I began having strange problems with my eyes. There were patches of color in my field of vision and there was a strange feeling of fullness in my head together with a deep weariness of body and of spirit. I finally drove to a nearby medical clinic where I was put in an ambulance after first the nurse and then the doctor recorded the highest blood pressure readings they had ever personally seen.
This is an amazing story, Séan. Thank you for sharing it. I particularly like the way in which you write about your ancestors singing and praying and dreaming you back into the land of the living and your decision to remain in incarnation. So beautiful.
I was so sad when I read you didn't know if you should live. And I was so happy to read you're committed to being fully alive! I'm so glad, there are no words. When Stephen Buhner died in 2022, I thought that was it, nobody could walk with me on this road of life, nobody knows what it feels like to be me and can guide me along the way. And then I saw your name on Julie McIntyre's website. And then I heard your voice, and it made me feel the same way Stephen's made me feel - whole. My eyes are tearing up right now. I didn't know you came so close to death. I'm so happy that you will be able to continue writing and helping others find their way. And that if needed, we can have a chat on Zoom. You are a precious human being. I'm so glad you're still with us, thank you to all your ancestors and to your inner strength for bringing you back among us.
I’m on a similar journey Seán, having had great difficulty climbing a steep gradient about ten years ago. Natural foods, movement and breath — nature’s gifts, are truly medicinal. 🪷
…Blackthorn blossom with their delicate, long stamen are very pretty. I’m not aware of ever seeing our native (Australian) bursaria spinosa or sweet bursaria up close. I intend on searching it out next spring…
I know your work via Caroline's council group, solstice gatherings and V.A. show, and appreciate what you write here very much! I had a similar experience last July in the opposite direction with hyponatremia after abdominal surgery with very similar inklings of who/what was on hand, wonderfully far out visions and awareness of death and dying as my choice right then!
Going to go back and reread what I wrote back after that happened. 🙂 Thank you for your work and amen to fully incarnating and fully living! ❤
Dedicating ones life to being fully here and alive is one of the most powerful acts we can make. I truly admire your courage and gift of word. I have experienced similar steps towards life, not quite so dramatic but in the same vein.
That is a scary and beautiful story. “I had never fully committed to being alive before” is a powerful and resonant statement. What would it mean to be fully committed to being alive? My new question.

These words mean the world to me. Thank you so much.

This is an astonishing story. I am overjoyed that you resurrected and continue to share the lives of those who dreamed you into being.
