bloom

bloom


In my garden, 
I rake away winter’s debris:  
there must be a death  
of the fear-forged self
—  only then can resurrection 
                   bloom

    The way my weeds are reincarnating is out of this world.
    Good to know they'll be above me someday.

      Wow! Short and sweet but so deep psychologically where winter's death must be cleaned. Where the primal fear of death must be cleaned away. That fear itself defeated brings about new growth. Lovely my friend a fave

              Just this morning I was imagining myself alone, adrift on the ocean deeps, and was struck with terror. It was humbling. And I also remembered that it was just my imagination, running away with me!

                I find that it usually is. Then all settles down again. My teacup overfloweth. πŸ€©πŸ™πŸ•ŠοΈ

                Rik, this really hit me. There's so much hope packed into so few words...that movement from clearing away what's dead to making room for new life feels deeply honest. Beautifully done, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›
