Faith

Posted on Instagram on November 16, 2019

I have to have faith that this shadow has a meaning and a purpose.
That I can lean into it, soften, allow its essence to work on my soul as it's needed.
.
I keep looking at the seeds.
Tiny miracles tucked in darkness, willingness to break and push in order to expand.
.
So I take the metal and create a small womb. I tuck a marigold seed in it, and a dried petal.
Marigolds that are bright and cheerful, resilient creatures who never worry about taking up more space.
.
I make a little prayer-talisman as a compass to promise a way.
Because right now, I don't know which way is up.
