There is growth hidden in the pinions of abandonment.
\nA rose with thorns sharp yet healing as they pierce.<\/p>\n
One must turn inward deliberately
\nAlmost cruelly and with intention
\nto open the scar tissue and bleed out.<\/p>\n
Very few are brave enough to go there.
\nNo one warns of the jagged edges or the depth of the plummet.<\/p>\n
Travel alone at your own peril.
\nBetter to pack for the trip; bring a poultice.<\/p>\n
Better also to leave room in the satchel for the gems
\nfor there is growth hidden in the pinions of abandonment.<\/p>\n
Very few are brave enough to go there.
\nI am on the journey now\u2026will you join me?
\nI know the way; we can support one another.<\/p>\n
And if you too abandon me, know this\u2026
\nMy wound is my friend now, I will survive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
