TRIPTYCH of becoming

TRIPTYCH: Belief, Mind, Becoming

I. Bloom of Beliefs

(Earth — seeds, roots, growth)

 

Beliefs bloom from scattered seeds  

sown in whatever soil we carry.  

Some lie dormant for years,  

waiting for a shift in weather.  

Some sprout clean and green.  

Others twist into strange shapes,  

half shadow, half truth.  

 

Flowers, herbs, weeds 

all of them growing together.  

Roots tangle, branches bend,  

yet still they beckon,  

drawing dreams from dusk to dawn.  



Do you understand.  

Do you choose.  

Do you grow. 

II. Circuits of the Mind

(Water/Air — spirals, currents, breath, thought)

 

The mind whispers in spirals,  

circuits looping like ammonites  

coiled in shale,  

cupping the sky in their silver palms.  

 

Currents cradle the courage of choice:  

its depths dare you to dive for the pearl,  

its shallows invite you to sift for gold.  

But beware the mud pits,  

the tread mill ruts,  

the familiar errors waiting  

to be repeated.  

 

Do you understand.  

Do you choose.  

Do you flow.



III. Fault Lines

(Fire/Stone — tectonics, pressure, transformation)

 

Beliefs compress like sediment,  

layer upon layer of lived experience —  

some brittle, some bearing weight.  

Fault lines fracture the surface,  

but beneath, magma pulses,  

molten with memory,  

ready to reshape the land.  

 

Your soul is sculpted  

from shifting sands and faulted stone,  

a terrain of tremors and tectonic grace,  

a garden grown in the gravity of change.  

Leaves lean toward whatever light survives.  

Roots wrap themselves around resilience.  

 

Can you cultivate.  

Can you create.  

Can you learn.
