Words To Nourish The Mind

Behind my new beginning, there was uncertainty, The unknown and the doubt. The hesitation of the what ifs All very abstract in my mind, But very real to how I was feeling, going through The seasons of transition. My head tells me that everything in life is either a Lesson or blessing, At the same time, I am still wrestling with the Mourning over the grief and loss.

It could only be described as breathtaking. Marcela and Isla lost themselves amongst the meadows; it stirred up their creative spirit and left them both deep in thought.  A rainbow shortly appeared, which moved Marcela to share a profound moment with Isla.
