We have read your cards

Smudged your entrance

And wrapped your hands in lavender and myrrh

Welcome home

Temperance draws you forward

Sun soaked leaves pave the road you have weathered

Rest your feet in the salt waters of where you were born

There are no wrong ways to live in liberation

It is in everything before that is where we have the missteps

as we find our footing, pain and all.

Welcome to the ashé spa

Your payment is healing

Please relax in knowing that all your past mothers have birthed stars to get to you

And lifted nebulas by your ancestors for this moment
