Unfurling


I feel like a flower who is opening after a long winter spent furled in fear and self-defense. As I run I can feel myself opening up, stretching out finding my new feet. I physically feel like I have been asleep, curled up in a ball, unconscious to the world.

And now I am opening and it feels strange at first, like walking on land after being on a boat for some while. I stumble a bit, rediscovering my legs, my equilibrium thrown off, although it feels wonderfully balanced. That once I get my legs, I will find myself more grounded than ever before. Grounded and balanced like a statue, fully supported by my sturdy base and strong armature, I am now able to reach out to life and do more, because I have so much trust in life and myself.
