Stems & Roots

The Love we show saves the Love we hide,

the way a sprig in sun feeds its unseen root.

‘Just as green stems in spring stay connected to their darker roots, just as the roots grow when the stems do, my compassion soothes my fear where I can’t see. Unknown to me, my love fees the underside of my confusion. The light I take in keeps the roots of my soul alive.’
