Earthly beings in
forest, mountain and plain.
tied up in a world burning
with fire and with hate,
yet with each new offspring
there is hope
bringing new growth
before the chaos is stilled.
Sinking into despair binds us
without preparing you or me
to be as tender leaves in spring
for we all still live each day.
Though many branches
may be burned or lost,
the spark of life and kindness
lives on in our roots.
It is with humility that
I share these words
from my cocoon
far from the chaos.
“Perhaps it is controlling the chaos within more than the chaos without.”
~ Erin Morgenstern, The Night Circus
