The Quiet Work of Becoming

In the quiet work of becoming, roots spiral downward through dark soil, teaching the seed what it means to hunger, to reach toward what it cannot see.

A moth's wing remembers flight before it has ever flown— the ancient blueprint written in scales, in the geometry of air resistance.

We too are full of blueprints, half-formed things that wait for their moment: the word caught between tongue and breath, the hand that reaches but does not touch.

Sometimes transformation whispers. Sometimes it takes a thousand small surrenders, a patient unfolding in soil, in shadow, in the patient dark where becoming has always lived.
