Ugly anger rising
flickering in the night
waiting…

Self-criticism boiling over
building a storm
waiting…

Unworthiness creeping in
whispering lies
waiting…

Silent rage burns hot
nothing can be seen beyond the flames and smoldering embers, turning to ash; a reminder of what once was, now forever gone.
no longer waiting…

Tears fall upon the ashes
giving life to something new
waiting…

Joy fills the soul
spreading hope across the burnt land
waiting…

Uncontrollable laughter, with more tears
feeding the earth below
waiting…

The sweetest, most pure presence of life emerges
taking its first breath beyond the ashes
a reminder; one to slow, to humbling walk with grace and compassion and forgive ourselves…

“Our own destruction becomes our gift of learning. The world is no different. The burning path that appears hopeless, is only building its incredible strength to re-emerge as something far greater; patience, reverence and respect are required for this journey.”
