If fear calls you to
spread your roots

If loss births new branches to
fill the canopy

If anger clears the dormant
fibers of your trunk

If sadness leans you slightly to
rest on your neighbor

Then may you be
spread
filled
cleared
swayed

For you are far more
evolving
expansive
creative
and entangled

than the shell of your seed can bear.

inspired by Sister Ilia Delio's description of the Cosmic Christ, evolving, expanding, creative, and entangled.
