As I walk toward my future, I see a sea of unknowns. I feel my heart beating to the sound of change. It cracks open and spills into the ocean, releasing tears of healing and feelings of fear.

With the crash of a wave, it all washes away. What was no longer is, and what’s to come remains. With patience, I vow to wait—moment to moment.

I receive, I give, I appreciate.

With salt on my lips, I bow to kiss the earth and thank her for holding me, showing me, and healing me with her medicine.
