Solid Growth


A trunk of solid wood emerged

rusted rivers of scarring
scratched and gouged deeply
roots grow deep
vines of life tangle and threaten to choke….but….
fragile buds grow carefully ~ shyly
only the surface seems vulnerable.
Expecting the worst is a mistake.
Belief will let dead wood and vines fall away, opening the solid trunk to fresh breath and new life.


“At the core of life is a hard purposefulness, a determination to live.”
~ Howard Thurman
