Day 28

The unfolding, like this, soft petals of

history, each holding the next, 

informed by, shaped by their

connection. 

And the whole becomes a different thing:

The story of a flower,

of a hearts yielding and strong 

stand. 

Both, at once.

Still, hold yourself tenderly. 

You are as strong and fragile as

all living things. 

Holding those tender things that are

still blooming.
