When every ounce of energy
Seems to have drained
From spaces of the body
Something else
Must emerge.
Like a cactus
Blooming in the desert
With the smallest rain.
The body wants its fluids…
Water the cells!
Feed the tissues!
Awaken the neurons
Antennae to the stars!
Creativity begins to surge
Generating energy
That had been forgotten.
Yes,
Life is possible!

How do you feel when you read this? Do you know this state of exhaustion? In those moments, do you experience the return to creativity and life? I hope this poem can serve as a reminder!
