If You Yearn
“If you have a deep scar, that is a door, if you have an old, old story, that is a door. If you love…If you yearn…that is a door.”
Clarissa Pinkola Estés
Passionate vine climbs.
Lingers, uncoiling the root.
All ways become one.
Nature’s seed awakening.
Train the ego, feed it truth.
The breathing is key.
Relax into the deep sea.
Ease into release.
Every doorway is empty.
Simplicity brings us home.

Go for it!

I love these. My favorite moment must be “Nature’s seed awakening.”

Plant Trees is also a good message.
