Softening of Hearts

All the events that have happened to us shape our bodies and our characters.

Some of us grow protective thorns, some, poisonous ones.

Some cultivate magical crystals and flowers.

Some heal with tears, seashells, and words.

Some build connections and extend little threads.

Some rip themselves open and remake their own form. But the fabric remains.

Our bodies are an archive and a premonition of the future.
