New roots drawing directly from Pachamama
Fuelling the growth of new shoots
Shoots of authenticity
Of new identity
No longer following the old instructions
Moving out from the shadow of small, comfortable, and fearful
Soft and powerful
Raw chi
Pushing up
Beautiful
Vulnerable
Unprotected
So tempting to protect, and the protection then constrains
What if this newness is vaster than I imagine
Who will I be
More soulful
More purposeful
More radical
What if my life is disrupted
Will I like me
Will my friends like me
Who am I in the mean time, while these shoots are growing
It is so hard to be in between
And the power of this greenness is overwhelming
Can I handle it flowing through me
Who we are becomes the mulch
No guarantees
No bargaining
Trust
This profound creation
From the depth of your psyche
Humbly listen and learn the language of the shoots
LIFE emerging
