Roots in the ground
Crown in the sky
Like a tree
I exist
In both worlds
Solid and swaying
Earthly and magic
Human and soul
Today, I was reminded of the duality of all experiences. I was reminded of my feet, the way they walk between worlds. That in every moment of stillness, I stand with one foot in both.
I am reminded during moments of pain, of sadness, of raw humanity of my deep roots in this earth and all its experiences.
And yet, my roots grow upwards into a trunk, a column, a portal of Divine Grace.
A constant reminder of my true essence.
Of all that existed before this life and all that will exist after.
Two feet.
Just as I feel anguish, I feel hope.
Just as I feel human, I feel soulful.
Sometimes one at a time, sometimes both at once.
But I accept both fully.
I allow myself to experience both, at times, simultaneously.
There is a comfort in knowing, even as my foot aches, all I have to do is take a step to the side.

Writing has gifted me so much. It has held me. Brought me solace through suffering. It has built me a bridge back to myself.
I hope within my pages, within my weaving of words, you may also find a gift.
