A Grain of Sand

Katie B.

     A Grain of Sand

 

I, but one grain of sand

Set in motion by ocean’s pull

To fight the water, futile.

To flow with the water, surrender

Why push the boulder

Why harken the sea

Relinquish

Immerse yourself

I, the grain that flows with ease

      Katie, this carries a quiet calm that doesn’t try to fight anything…just moving from resistance into letting go. It’s simple, grounded, and it lingers in a peaceful way. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛
