Where do you source your energy?

From others?
The cats smile. Your lover’s warmth beneath the covers. A friend’s supportive wisdom. A client’s warm review.

From food?
A stomach-soothing beverage. A slippery bowl of noodles. The crunch and crackle of cucumber and kale. A palm-sized warm pastry.

From sensation?
The breeze in the curtains. The scent of sliced apple. Fading light on the floorboards. The bright center of the flower before its petals drop….

Attention is the rarest and purest form of generosity.

Simone Weil

Dana = Generosity = To act spontaneously for others without receiving in return; giving your attention.

Be the seed that sheds its coat: ascend and gather the hearts of all those who say YES to coming with you.

Sending you love and light,
Seraphina

Dana | Generosity 

Dried flowers snap and scatter in the hallway.

The soft scent of my egress. 

I wave my dressing gown from the window,
gesturing to the woman across the alleyway.

Come for tea? I call.

Farewell is its own continent. 

The woman arrives with a tin of muffins and
something wrapped in a kerchief. It was my
mother's, she says as I touch the frayed edges. 

Stained by sunlight, I peel the layers and see the oracle.

It’s a Turkish deck with black and white lettering. I pull
a card, Kolay Gelsin.

May it come easy to you. 

I’m stuck in a stage between spring and summer,
blossoming quietly, straining for mercy. A harsh
aurora where abundance weeps wildflowers.
