You are breaking new ground,

Softly,

Like a seed breaks its shell,

Like a tender shoot of green breaks through,

And crumbles, moves aside a bit of earth

Making its way up…

You are breaking new ground

Like winter breaks into spring –

Maybe imperceptibly but undeniably.

The mind plays tricks,

Says you’ll always be standing still.

Standing in the dark, it says everything’s the same

Because it forgets that stillness and darkness are part of the movement.

There is only ever change in the Eternal Rhythm.

There is only ever life.

You are breaking new ground

Like sunrise slowly breaks the horizon

And brings new light, new light to let us see clearly again.
