My Seeds Are Stirring

Art by Ruth Evans

“I can feel the seeds within me stirring, calling and pulling. . . . Asking me to listen, to follow the path they wish to to grow for me.

Wistfully | look at what I have grown, the path I have made already that stretches out behind me.

I see it’s medicine weeds, the richness of soil, and I also see where it has become run down, the earth dry and the roots weakening.

I know the path is changing, I know my soul is calling for something new, and I watch the brave shoots of green, the buds on tree branches and I wonder if I have the same bravery, the same courage to let these new seeds of mine take me.”
