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
-Morgan Harper Nichols
