I Welcome Spiritual Growth in the Garden of My Soul

I accepted a writing challenge to write the first words that came to mind when I read. .

. . . home – welcome

. . . soil – garden

. . . rain – growth

Use those words in the title of your post.

Welcome Spiritual Growth in the Garden of My Soul

I have lingered in my own inner desert,

Clinging to dried up habits.

This dry soil has been my home

With little growth or change.

Yet I yearned for the rain of the Spirit

To soak the hard crust of fear,

To awaken my writer’s soul.

The seeds of thoughts germinate

Assimilated emotions, reflections,

Connect with quotes and philosophy

All become integrated.

Then words sprout

Grow into stories

The creative process is subconscious

Energizing

I am coming back to life

Through the flow of words.

Joy

Life

Freedom
