Tend and Befriend

Orange Zinnia, October 2020


 
Welcome to nightfall
she tends gathering shadows
I follow her lead


* I stepped out on the porch earlier this week and saw a zinnia under the landscape light. It was so transformed by the night - radiant. I felt like I saw it more fully. I call to mind loved ones who have shared their shadow-side and see them more fully, and they become more beautiful. It encourages me to befriend my own shadows.
