“aaa-AAA-AAA-AHH!”
— *Elphaba, Wicked
Some weeks, the most honest expression we have is a full-bodied, unfiltered AAA-AHH! A sound that sits somewhere between frustration, release, and breakthrough. Elphaba’s cry isn’t chaos; it’s clarity. It’s the moment when holding it all together gives way to acknowledging what’s real.
Today’s reflection invites us to embrace that moment. What if the shout is not a collapse but an opening? An opening to name what feels heavy, to honor what feels complicated, and to let ourselves breathe in the space that follows.
As we move through the week, may we give ourselves permission to:
Release what we’ve been carrying too tightly.
Admit when things are overwhelming.
Recognize that growth often begins with an unglamorous, unscripted exhale.
Sometimes the most thoughtful thing we can do is let the sound out and then step forward with purpose.
Here’s to the breakthroughs that begin with an honest “AHH.”
