🕯 Solstice Blessings
to the Reader I Haven’t Met Yet

May these words find you
just when you need them most—
not a moment sooner,
not a breath too late.
May they arrive like a hush
in the center of the noise,
a river beneath the skin,
a door in a wall you forgot was yours.
May something unnamed stir in you.
May the ache beneath your armor
lean forward and listen.
May the pages remind you
of a song you once knew
but thought you’d forgotten.
May the part of you
that almost gave up
feel seen,
held,
welcomed home.
And when you close this book—
may it not be the end,
but the beginning
of your return
to yourself.
I don’t know your name yet,
but I already know your light.
You found these words
because a part of you
is still becoming.
I’ll meet you there—
where becoming begins again.

Welcome to my brain. My daydreams are filled with an unquenchable wanderlust, and an unrequited love affair with words haunts my sleepless nights. I do some of my best work here, my messiest work for sure. Want more? https://a.co/d/iBToOK8
