Every Blade of Grass

By Janet Heilbronn, LCSW

In this darkness

Find the courageous path

And with compassion

Go find Her

For the sake of this child frozen in time

Bring all that you’ve got and focus

Flesh her out through intent and be brave

Feel the rip

Find the trailhead and begin again

Listen to all of them who won’t let you by. Hear their stories:

The town crier

The prostitute

The murderer

The homeless one

The fear monger

The addict

The performer

The people pleaser

The dreamer

The angry one

The artist

The perfectionist

Some with torches lit

They will storm you. They WILL storm you.

Stay the course and for the sake of this child listen, and listen good

Let them all know you are coming

A merchant of Hope

The plausibility of possibility

Be with them all and feel the burn of transformation.
