These massive blooms sprouted out of just a few dispersed seeds, each characteristically orienting themselves to pull off the rays, siphoning water and nutrition from the earth below, and then radiating back their beautiful nectar-full soul. Before they appear in their entire aura, each petal is on its journey of liberation, slowly revealing a dark face with a commanding and eternal presence.

 

My mystic chambers are in overdrive; I am wonder-struck by the density of life in these minuscule beings, preserving the infinite and its sacred muse. One to many, many to one, the thunder of oneness, a foundational characteristic in all of us. Their dauntless courage and relentless quest for grounding hope give way to roots, wings, and a blissful tall order that transforms within and around.

 

During our numerous run-ins, we have had many heart-to-heart conversations. Today, I arrived dressed, radiating the sweat of my tall order and fully embracing the void in me. I know our bond defies and defines our sprouting horizons, and during the escaping summer, our bloom radiates beyond the petals of the sky.
