A sample of Salt Water

Letting go
Is not releasing
It is allowing
What already is
Page 21
Build it, and it will come
Empty out a drawer for someone
They will fill it
Share your work every day
People will find it
Walk and your legs will strengthen
Open your hours and your days will fill
Speak as though you’ve arrived
And reality will realign
Page 100
No person is just one person
We all exist in versions and iterations
Layers that are revealed
As a thousand perfect storms
Grow you, and change you, and show you
To you
Page 129
When nowhere feels like home
It means you are being called to build one
When nothing feels okay
You are being called to ask why not
When you feel the most hopeless
You are being asked to rest
When you are certain you aren’t beautiful enough
You are being asked to make beautiful the parts of you
You think it would be easier to change
Begging for a new life with your pain never works
Saying to god, “See how unfair this is?”
Is not how you get her to fix anything
And that’s what you’re doing with your pain
Calling for help with the work
That was always just yours
