“always be kinder than you feel”

Unwilding

I walked through the fire, until I burned with it -

Flame made flesh.

I weathered the storm, until I found myself still -

Becoming the eye.

I felt the earthquake tear out my roots -

But when the dust settled,

My bones became the foundation.

I learned to tame the chaos -

Not by conquering,

Not by communing,

But by becoming.
