—

since the thing perhaps is
to eat flowers and not to be afraid.

— e.e. cummings

A profound and irreversible shift … the moment I began to understand that living fully means allowing myself to feel, even when it hurts.

For a long time, fear softened my edges. I quieted my desires, made space for expectations, and kept myself just outside the intensity of being alive. This work moves in the other direction … toward openness and my own truth, into a self that no longer hides.

Eat flowers is an act of permission

to open,

to feel,

to live without turning away.
