“This video is so helpful. it has\u00a0finally\u00a0fully illuminated for me what the Ninth Wave is really\u00a0all\u00a0about!!!!!! Yes!!\u00a0
My college roommate rowed crew\u00a0and qualified for the Olympics, but I still never really GOT IT, and certainly not the metaphorical impact of it, until now, thanks to the persistence and brilliance of your vision,\u00a0Caryn! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now\u00a0I\u00a0can see and feel and smell\u00a0this\u00a0huge powerful ocean wave we\u2019re in \u2014and find that it finally cleanses\u00a0those poisonous patriarchal fears: that the gifts I want to share are\u00a0a burden to others\u2014that silencing my Goddess-given voice is somehow generous and helpful to other women (even as I so much crave and need other women\u2019s voices!! how crazy is that!?! ) \u2014that only scarcity births value\u00a0\u2014that the world won\u2019t miss my work if I don\u2019t do it!\u00a0 Aaaaaaayyyyyyyiiiii yiiiiiii!!!\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All those ridiculous fears are illuminated away by the glorious wet bright splashing truth that we are all rowing the same ship together!!!! \u00a0I don\u2019t think I will ever feel alone in my work again, sensing the powerful oarstrokes of my sisters in the Ninth Wave moving with me, loving the feeling of urging them on and feeling how my work is urging them on!”\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Knowing that everyone else in the boat is feeling the same pain that you are \u2013 it\u2019ll allow you to wake up in the morning and continue to make those sacrifices.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n


“I row because the girl in front of me is doing it so how dare I not push it?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
