That is beautiful, and to know that there is a part that always breathed, always held gold like a heirloom to be returned to the light as a treasure when the time was right is so affirming.

Love the image as well!

This is a beautiful way to frame it. The idea that trust is something that has to grow in the dark, slowly and intentionally, really resonates with me ✨

Thank you Emma! It took a long time to get there, but, at least I did ✨

Even part healing takes time.

Trust is like a stalactite building slowly and quickly broken.

We don’t have eons, but I would rather lay on grain at a time than chase a river that leaves silt only to be washed away in the next flood.

Feeling that! 🖤🌙
