Grit & Growth

In my emptiness I have dug a hole. In my past I have climbed in, only to try and make a hidden home. Searching for a way to escape and forget.

This time with a hollow before me, I find another purpose. One worth my time. I’m taking all the past hurt and all the current fear and I plant it in the soil. Where I trust it will be is nurtured by sunlight itself.

I lay it down, and let lay. Allowing it to grow, bud, and bloom. Then when it all has come to life may I cut off each lesson it has taught me.

Placing it on display in my heart, in my home. In the middle of my mess and madness. Today I can choose to enjoy it all, knowing beauty comes from grit and growth.
