Every day we die little deaths~
Every cell must die and be
Replaced by one new.
A shift in thinking
Causes a little death of a
Misconception or agéd thought.
Little deaths cause renewal
And growth if only we
Embrace them.
A forest consumed by fire
Fosters new growth, allowing
The new to flourish.
Little deaths bring change
And growth and peace~
Or tear the world apart.

yes, little deaths every day and renewals… 🙂
