QUOTE THAT INSPIRED THIS PAINTING:

“She was becoming herself — casting aside that which didn’t fit and stepping slowly, quietly, into the life that did.” — Inspired by Glennon Doyle

MY POEM FOR THIS PAINTING:

It came like morning —
not sudden,
but sure.

The hesitation had softened.
The doubt, quieter now.
And in its place:
a knowing.

Not loud,
but real.

She could see it —
not the whole path,
but the enticing shimmer of what lay ahead.
The shape of a life that she had, until now,
never dared to imagine.

And so she turned,
not with haste,
but with grace —
toward the light,
toward the longing,
toward the truth she'd buried beneath years of setting her dreams aside.

Above her,
the rose finch called —
a flicker of colour,
a whisper of trust —
reassuring her, reminding her:

This way.
You’re ready.
Go!
