My dear friends, it took at least 3 reads for me to have some precious sense of the gift of this poem, just warning you, one read is not enough...

What Is This Faithful Process 

What is this faithful process

of spirit and seed 

that touches empty ground

 and makes it rich again? 

Its greater workings

 I cannot claim to understand.

 I only know that in its care, 

what has seemed dead is dead no longer,

 what has seemed lost, is no longer lost,

 that which some have claimed impossible, 

is made clearly possible, 

and what ground is fallow is only resting –

 resting and waiting for the blessed seed

to arrive on the wind 

with all Godspeed. 

And it will. 

 ~ Clarissa Pinkola Estes, The Faithful Gardener
