The Green Shoot
Before you begin
Sit quietly and bring to mind whatever in your life feels burned down or worn out.
The practice, step by step — read it all first if you like
Name the ash
Acknowledge the scorched ground honestly — no decorating it.
Look closer
Imagine looking closer at that ground. Somewhere, a first green shoot.
Tend it
Ask inwardly: what does this shoot need from me this week? Listen for a small, practical answer.
Let it grow slowly
Resist digging it up to check. Picture yourself watering it and walking away trustingly.
Accessibility
If imagery is hard, hold the question — what small thing in me is still growing? — in words only.
How long do you have?
Or read through it quietly above, at your own pace.
