Faith

No one else does it for you.

That’s OK —

This holy work

is what you’re made to do.

The you essence,

so pure in your mustard-seed core,

must draw in the life water

that makes it swell,

must split, and multiply

and open out

so bringing forth

everything you are

There is no turning back,

there is no giving up —

once started, your unfoldment

must continue

till you, too, bring forth precious seed,

spreading your blessing

wide across the land.
