The Invitation
A crash came from the front room.
The cat had knocked over my vase. I shooed her away and, distracted, began gathering the mess.
Then something caught my eye.
The shape of a flower.
As I held the stem, a sensation arose.
A threshold.
An invitation.
Can I trust you?
I did not understand it, but I felt its presence. There was more here than I could name.
Then the question turned inward.
Could I trust myself?
I carried the flower to my camera.
That moment marked the beginning of a delicate exchange of guidance, trust, and wonder.
