‘Soft Enough’ | Meditations on Hope

hope is the bloom you forgot you planted—

showing up on a tuesday

you almost didn’t survive.

hope isn’t asking you to do more.

but to stay. to soften.

just to breathe long enough

to smell its fragrance.

Artist’s Note

Some days, hope doesn’t feel big or brave…it just looks like getting out of bed. Like breathing through the ache, or noticing something small and beautiful and letting it matter.
