we can get through whatever it is that weighs us down. our hearts have a capacity for love and life that is far beyond a limited vision or perception. so much of what we bear as struggle and burden, is an opportunity and path for healing and transformation.

“Do you know how

the caterpillar

turns?

Do you remember

what happens

inside a cocoon?

You liquefy.

There in the thick black

of your self-spun womb,

void as the moon before waxing,

you melt

(as Christ did

for three days

in the tomb)

conceiving

in impossible darkness

the sheer

inevitability

of wings.”
