Live and Let Fly
July 10, 2024
Dr. Brianna Rita Pagán, a local SoCal ultra runner, NASA engineer, and professor, caught my attention on Instagram after I completed the Backbone trail last December. Her adventures align closely with my newfound passion for running, particularly her impressive single-push run of the entire trail. Recently, she shared a remarkable story of rescuing three different birds that had unexpectedly flown indoors, prompting her followers, including myself, to ponder its spiritual implications. This incident resonated deeply with me, inspiring reflections on unity and supporting each other's unique potentials. It reminded me of the importance of fostering curiosity and encouragement, traits exemplified by true friends who help us transcend perceived limits. Dr. Pagán's actions and thoughtful questions continue to inspire a community dedicated to exploring life's deeper meanings and supporting one another's aspirations.
