The ferns and moss, they grow on the trees
But only the dead ones
They root there and reach for air and light
Like I am
There is life despite death
Death of my past life
My old life is slowly and painfully dying
It is sad
It is so so hard
But there is light
See that up there?
The ferns growing on the dead tree?
They took advantage of death, instead of living inside of it
And dying too
They grow on it
They see the light
I can see it too
And I’m growing Me, version 2.0
I’m building my MVP (minimal viable product) now, slowly
Though each vertical step, sinks purposefully in beach sand
But, it’s no longer quicksand as it was in the past
It\'s not pulling me down any longer
I\'m in a tunnel and I do see light
A Jesse Welles quote from a song
The light in the tunnel is not a train speeding at me
It’s the hopeful future and sunlight I’m reaching for
The air and sun will nourish me and I will nourish them back
