Wildfire

Trauma feels like a wildfire, ripping through the forest you've worked so hard to cultivate, singeing the life out of all you've grown, transforming your landscape into something you can't recognize.

​

But in time, the burned soil turns up new growth, greenery sprouts from places once barren, and your forest begins reforming. The lessons left by your trauma rain down on this soil to feed your growth.

​

Yes, without this devastation, the forest could have held ancient trees and unknown species, if only the trauma hadn't burned her. But now, she has new growth, she's budding with possibility. In time, all life will return and the landscape, though changed, will once again feel like home.
