A – A Cabin With a Tree Growing in the Middle

here’s to allowing yourself to consider

what beautiful things might be possible here, 

even if it looks different this time.

because perhaps, after everything

there is still room to grow in new directions.

your roots run deep, and at the same time, 

you can still become something new.

may there be room for you

to welcome what is slowly

expanding and becoming possible now.

B – A Cabin Halfway Up the Mountain

remember this when you start to think

you should be further along by now:

there may be more happening within you 

than this moment can fully reveal.

the middle of the journey 

can still be a place of meaningful change, too.

what you have carried this far 

has already changed you.

what you have practiced along the way 

has already become part of you.

and it matters more than you know.

you are free to be proud of how you have grown,

even while you are still on the journey.

sometimes the most lasting growth happens before proof.

C – A Cabin at a Fork In the Road

at unexpected crossroads,

new chapters in the story

of who you are can still emerge.

you may be faced with new unknowns,

and this is also true:

you will continue to encounter 

both steadiness and openings

all throughout the many layers

of the landscape you are moving through.

wherever this journey takes you next,

the things you nurture today

can become part of what you carry

with you toward tomorrow.

4 – A Cabin by a Waterfall

while the reality 

of what is unknown is ever-present

your growing readiness to find 

rhythms within the change

is becoming more present, too…

just by returning, again and again, to the water,

change is becoming something 

you are learning to move with

slowly and steadily you discover

livable, breathable ways of being here
