The Soul Will Miss This - A Love Letter to the Body’s Ache, WONDR and Becoming

Episode 15: The Soul Will Miss This - A Love Letter to the Body’s Ache, WONDR and Becoming We spend so much time trying to escape the ache. Trying to fix, solve, rush, or rise above it. But what if the ache is the miracle? In this tender, soul-baring episode of Endless WONDR, Kenna Brooke speaks from the sacred threshold of midlife, menopause, and becoming. From within the discomfort of not knowing — of being in the womb-space between what was and what is not yet — she offers a powerful reflection on what it means to live as a soul in a human body. This episode is a call to presence. To reverence. To slowness. To the holy ache of being here. Because maybe — just maybe — the soul will grieve the very things we resist in life: The rage. The waiting. The gray hair. The bruise. Kenna closes with a reading of Tincture by beloved poet Andrea Gibson, whose recent passing leaves a sacred silence in the world of art and activism. Their words in Tincture mirror this truth so intimately: that even the discomfort, even the body’s imperfection and fragility, is part of the WONDR we came here to feel.

Their poem Tincture, read in full at the end of this episode, is a mirror of what it means to be fully, achingly, beautifully human. May their words continue to awaken WONDR in all who listen.
