You can't see beyond the next step,
but you know what it feels like
to let go.
It’s time to sense into that knowing.
The gesture is not new to you,
but this context is.
Your disorientation makes sense,
and right here, a beautiful substantiality
is emerging.
This is not about worthiness,
and even here,
it’s not about trying.
This is co-creation.
Do you remember propagating pothos?
“Stems without at least one leaf won’t flourish,”
said conventional wisdom
and Google.
And still, you filled jars with
water, love, and stubborn hope.
In them, you placed leafless stems.
Undeterred by the odds,
they grew.
They are alive now...
purifying the air,
grounding nervous systems,
beautifying spaces.
They whisper an eternal hymn:
"Every action matters;
let go of how and why."
Can you still reach your stubborn hope?
There is a current between
knowing and unknowing;
it will carry you.
I’m glad you’re here!
My name is Kirsten. I accompany folks as they attune to their inner lives.
This is a spacious place to belong as we are becoming: to anchor amid the chaos, be seen and known, and make room for pain, longing, wonder, delight, and hope.
The Grounding + Becoming blog is a (free!) care package of audio and visual invitations and collaged essays about being human. If you feel a draw to embodied accompaniment, I hold space in person and online.
