Emily, this piece is so so heartfelt and poignant. I was trying to highlight my favorite stanzas and it didn't work, but I feel the feelings and your words come from a place of being held by God.

Thank you, Tanya. I’m really glad you felt that when reading this piece. I feel like I move sometimes in my writing to try and put into words what my body is trying to say.

I could almost visualize one breaking through pain, blood, suffering, a bone-crushing type of growth, which ends in a radiating fulfillment from God's presence.

Thank you for sharing!
