Today I am grateful
for all that has grown
from all the seeds that have been planted
throughout my life.
Thank you to all those farmers, to the rich soils,
to the healing rains, to the pollinators
and for allowing some things to become
mulch to help new seeds grow stronger.
Blessings for the seeds I plant today for myself
and for all who have made me who I am.
This is my journey
