container

a container creates structure
big enough to allow it all
small enough to encourage
letting go

a container is shapeshifting
it can be ink on paper
a space with walls and ceiling
a relationship or community
the safety of your own body

a container isn’t one size fits all
it can be the size of a pond that grows with rain
the size of the ocean
a puddle with clear reflection
the floor of your living room

a container invites presence
not necessarily permanent
a ritual repeated with devotion
a focused period of making
a creation burned at night

a safe container allows
freedom, expansion,
comfort, and warmth

your safe container might feel
too shallow, too vast,
too cold, or unsafe
to someone you love
