<p>Nothing like a rough patch of life to amp up our spiritual growth, right?</p>
<p>In Kelley’s case, a broken friendship.</p>
<p>In my case, a health emergency with my mom.</p>
<p>Sh*t happens and we get to do what Kelley calls <em>The Work.</em></p>
<p>What does she mean by that?</p>
<p>“The Work is all about whatever process is underway and how we’re tending to it.”</p>
<p>In Kelley’s case, it comes with and through the mythopoetic narratives she creates or discovers while exploring her inner landscape. “The Work begins when we acknowledge what needs tending to.” When we stop denying the intrusion and acknowledge what is.</p>
