The first of the Viantamese Monks has arrived with his team 🙏🏻

A quick update my friends 🙏🏻

As my health has been declining in this last seven days since the fever hit me last Sunday night. It came to the point my local French friends took over and arranged an emergency doctors appointment in the hospital this morning as my chest infection is really making it difficult to breathe and it is certainly not getting any better.

My body isn't asking for much. Just rest. Just stillness. Just permission to stop pretending I'm fine. The flu came and stayed. No grand reason. No spiritual lesson. Just… tiredness so deep it has its own gravity. I've spent my life healing others. Channeling light. Balancing Qi. Holding space. But right now? I can barely hold my own head up. And maybe that's okay. Maybe this is the teaching I didn't ask for That even healers get sick. Even hands that give and give and give need to close, empty, still. So today I'm not healing anyone. Not even myself. I'm just lying here. Breathing. Letting my bones be heavy. Letting my heart be soft without trying. If you're tired too really, bone tired, soul tired then lie down with me. Just for a minute. We don't have to be anything right now. Not wise. Not helpful. Not strong. Just human. Just here. Just resting. Tomorrow the light can come back. Today, we sleep. With Love ❤️ Always Mark

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These people have an appreciation, sensitivity, and understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not just happen. Have a wonderful day filled with loving kindness and joy 🙏 With Love ❤️ Always Mark
