Wild

After a busy few months that have kept me away, today I visited one of my favourite places. I was struck by the sudden explosion of growth in the valley. The things that I have been wrestling with, my questions and need for answers seemed to fall away as I walked up the hillside on a path that was hidden by toweringly high ferns and brambles. The view from the top was, as always, inspiring:

Overgrown
not overwhelmed
This is the rewilding
of my soul
finding home
Returning
to its roots
Grounded
in the beauty
of hidden things
waiting
Walking
the secret path
Forging through
the thorns
Marked
by the ever-changing
seasons
of potential
This is the untamed
celebration
of hope.
