“Sadness can mingle within, when you least expect it, give it room to move out.”

Sadness comes quietly, often in the quieter or darker winter months.
Not always how or when you may expect it.
A gentle reminder to return to the parts of you you’ve been resting within.
Instead of resisting it, allow it to show you where softness is needed.

Sadness doesn’t shrink you when you breathe into it, it deepens you, it builds new roots, it clears space for joy that’s more honest than before.

Hold the ache lightly.
Let it speak in whispers.
Every tear waters
the next becoming.

Gentle practice:
Sit still for one minute and say:
“This feeling is not forever. But it belongs for now.”

-Kerri-Elizabeth
Tomorrow, we’ll make room for joy to return, gently, not forcefully.
