Failure made me stronger
Pain made me kinder
Sadness gifted me compassion
Grief gave me wisdom
All of these feelings
Which people strive to avoid
I welcome in
They fill the hollows, flesh me out
Burn the straw men within
Humble me
Again and again
Header photo: mine from awhile ago – a storm was coming – everything looked very dramatic – it was messy, even a little scary but the rain grew some grass, caused renewal to the landscape – certainly worth a bit of short term thunder and lightning 🌩️🫶🏻💥❤️
