I wanted to share mine this week…
This Season, A Time of the Sun
Courage is a kind of creative spell.
The sun is speaking again to me in summer,
reminding me of the cycles of change.
I walk into the field of my life at the threshold
of the harvest. What will be made possible
by kneeling in the dirt? To the soil
of my life, I ask.
Just a reminder that there’s no right way to do this. If you write one, please share it with me (subscribers can comment on this post!), share it on our paid subscriber chat, or post it on Instagram. My handle is @K8belew.
