‘…to go deep inside, to travel the wasteland and see the flag iris waiting in the muddy womb, the water-promise still only a dream, and to anyone unfamiliar with the landscape, they are not even a possibility, not even a thing, hidden as they are, waiting to shock the world with a loudness of yellow, and i being witness to the mud, the path as familiar as my own breath, a soft body of failure and faith-ravaged stories, had i not walked the spine of this road with my eyes wide open to what i cannot see, would never have known the riotious beauty waiting to happen…’

— lessons on faith from the flag iris

walk with your eyes wide open to what you cannot see.

you are a wise creature.

you have seen many things.

you just need reminding that things, much like flag irises, take the time they take.

patience, lovely heart.
