Note to Self: A Blessing for Uncertainty and Fresh Heartache
Waiting for medical test results, I found it difficult to take a deep breath. As worst-case scenarios danced through my head, I went for a contemplative photo walk, capturing images along the way. Through this cracked path, my soul gifted me a blessing.
When the road laid for you
cracks under your feet,
remember this:
you are held by the ground
underneath the path.
It is unruly and cannot be tamed:
fertile soil for
all you will become.
This is harder to trust
through fear and
clenched fists.
Receive this blessing:
may you hold what breaks in you with
love and curiosity.
You can rest here.
Open your hands.
Open your lungs.
Open your belly.
Breathe it in.
