You will not always feel exactly as you do right now — not because it fades, but because life grows around it. Some call that grace. You can just call it spring.

The idea behind this card — What grows around

You will not always feel exactly as you do right now — not because it fades, but because life grows around it. Some call that grace. You can just call it spring.

FEEL — The honest heart before the mystery — lament, doubt, awe, mercy

The practice

draw it: one circle for the loss, sized honestly. Now draw your life around it — every person, place, and green thing added since. Same circle. Bigger field. Keep the drawing.

Where this idea comes from
