New Beginnings

She grows.

Silently.

Below the surface.

Hidden and unknown.

Peaceful in the process

Alongside the sliver of light

That guides her.

From the darkness

Breathes possibility

An emergence of something new.

Something unknown.

Trust.

She reminds herself.

You will know.

When it’s time

To bloom.

Rae.



What grows in the dark blooms possibility. Found in the soil and roots within my body, your body, our bodies, we find the raw material for the process of growth.

However uncertain, painful or scary, it is through the process of composting and decay that brings beauty and fresh perspective. Of inspired changes and transformational growth.

We do not know, unless we dig deep. Unless we allow ourselves to return to the earth. To our bodies. Our stories. Unfolding as our nature allows.

It is in the darkness we will find our way forward. Personally and collectively.

May we walk softly in the dark and seek out the slivers of light. Surrendering to the process of regeneration. Re-imagining what could become of what is unknown.
