When change is hard, it’s easy to forget our sense of connection. We believe we are singular and alone. But we are always being held through change by relationship. By our inherent connection to a vast and infinite system of life growing towards more life. We grow as the trees grow. With the moon, we ebb and flow.

Seeds are the material through which life not only continues but evolves. If we think about grief as a seed, what does that change in how we orient to our grief? And what kind of potential would live within these tiny, primordial pods?

Our experiences of loss and grief have the potential to expand our awareness and connect us back to the universal cycles and the bigger-than-us wisdom and intelligence that is constantly unfolding within and around us.

Being a living being with all of the wounding that life can bring is made more possible when we are graced with the softness of presence that comes from those who can see us.
