the lightning bolt

What are you capable of?

— You are capable of shedding skins like chapters.

— Of building whole sanctuaries out of breakfast and music and a slow-cooker.

— Of becoming your own archetype: wise, weird, winsome, whole.

— Of burning a bridge and planting wisteria where the ashes fall.

— Of parenting a house full of magic and noise and enoughness.

— Of using words like spells and joy like a knife.

— Of never needing to be smaller to be loved again.
