“As you start to walk the way, the way appears.” (Rumi)

… and as you start to love yourself, love appears.
As you start to do the work, the plan and team appears.
As you start to chase the light, dawn comes.
As you start to write, the words appear —
As you start to smile, you will find yourself alive in a house of mirrors,
And as you start to believe that you are worth it, you’ll find that two things can be true:

your hands can both hold and be held…

And then that the inverse holds as well.

As you stop running, stillness appears.
As you release tension, peace appears.

As you pour yourself out,
the soil appears,
follows you around,
pre-sewn with rows of mustard seeds —

As you start to trust God, God appears in you.
