And then there’s ‘us’…

Close-up of two people holding hands outdoors with a tree and a lake in the background.

Remember who you are. 

Not the shape others have put on you, not the story they handed you,

not the lies or needs that were pressed into your psyche. 

Not even your own imagined ideas of what you should be. 

But the real you, the wild innate you

that is breathing under all those

should be’s, all those untruths.

Remember the feel of it, the shape of it.

Let it inhabit you, like golden weeds rewilding the concrete.
