Canyon

If unfair is the gap
Between what we deserve
And what we got
Then no wonder you stand
At the edge of a canyon
That formed as your tears
Eroded away your hopes and your dreams

When unfairness happens it can leave us feeling disconnected and distant from where we thought we'd be.

There are days when I feel like my grief cuts through the fabric of who I am and leaves me shattered and stuck and separated from hope.

And there are days I remember that without my grief I would not have the same depth and I would not have the same capacity to hold.

Today I am making room to honour both types of days and all the ways my grief is shaping me.
