She stopped reaching

and asked

what nourishes me?

what makes me feel good

not because I am validated

—its ok for me to take up space ?

but because I am actually replenished

an ecosystem must feed it self

before the octopus can take hold

and the orchid can germinate

lady- bug- slipper

as a love so below

as of the earth so of her

she lay

belly the the ground

until she knew

how to feed the earth

in a way that was new

dont worry she said

-I am meant to co create

-I am nothing in isolation

-the answers are not here yet

because they are meant to appear

dancing

surprise

and she let life come to her

she loved it to arise
