When deep inner work becomes overwhelming, curiosity can shift everything. A personal story about healing, darkness, and finding light in unexpected moments.
Reading your beautiful story, I couldn't help thinking of my own magic moments...
When my little magic moment happened, it was so little that I almost didn't see it. And so subtle that I had no idea it was magic. But it was magic, and over time it had the power to change me fundamentally. It was a tiny word: Hi.
I believe it was the equivalent of your squirrel's first visit and the connection you built with it.
That "Hi." is my Anton.
Without that "little magic moment", there would not have been the actual magic, unexpected moment that saved my life. Or, maybe it didn't; it let it end and allowed me to be born into a new life. The one that I'm meant to live. This moment arrived in the form of a 5-word sms :-)
Maybe these little moments are always there, and it's more about our attention. Sometimes we recognize them; other times we don't.
No matter how dark days are, there is usually a light somewhere... no matter how small. It never is 100% dark unless we are in a totally dark room.
Maybe there is also something in us that directs our attention to these little things that we need to see... and our brains are really great in then giving it a meaning. That's how we are in a way the creators of our stories... at least to some extent.

I agree with every word...it is about attention and lack of it. Or readiness to see. Sometimes we don't even know we needed something until we see it.
