Where Softness Begins

Where Softness Begins

You are between.
Between what once was and what is becoming.
Between chapters, between selves,
between what you once needed
and what you’re learning to need now.

There is no rush here.
No demand to leap, to hustle,
to bloom before you're ready.
This is the part where the soil softens
before anything stirs.

Let yourself linger.
Trace your fingertips along forgotten pages.
Feel the dust settle into light.
You are not lost—
you are in the atrium of becoming.

Sometimes the gentlest thing you can do
is not begin again,
but pause before beginning.
To tend to the quiet,
to sip from the stillness,
to honor the ache and the beauty
of this in-between.

This is your gentle reset.
A hush before the season turns.
A moment to ask:
What is softly calling me now?
And to answer,
not with a plan—
but with presence.
