ways to grow (reminders to myself in the face of disappointment)
let it break
let everything break
Scatter shards like crumbs behind you
go hungry for a while
don’t ask why
ask why
Honor failure until she’s a friend
ask about her almanac and why she laughs so much
let it be
just be
still as old-growth timber laid down where mycelium makes magic
Practice holding breath (heart-), breath (-beat)
unfurl
one crystalline leaf at a time
as if you weren’t mortal
as if eternity were your middle name
someday, from a height
you will look down and See the path
perfect
i promise

love these reminders
especially love:
just be
still as old-growth timber laid down where mycelium makes magic
Thank you 💛
loved the line ” where mycelium makes magic”
Love this reminder, and also “just be/still as old-growth timber laid down where mycelium makes magic”
I love the way you combine short and longer lines – that’s the way we talk to ourselves.
I love “uncurl one crystalline leaf at a time as if you weren’t mortal”.
If only we Could. 🩷
