Trust The Process

Maybe I’m being reminded that I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken,

nor their seed begging bread.

Maybe I’m being reminded that with exactly what I already have at home,

I can make something that feeds myself and others.

Maybe I’m learning how to give from my overflow instead of my lack.

Maybe I’m just self-soothing in the ways of my foremothers — with my hands, with heat, with repetition, with the quiet creation of something nourishing.

Whatever the reason for this urge to bake and share, to create and nurture,

I’m grateful for the calm it brings me.

I’m grateful for the unexpected sense of pride it restores.

A simple belief, gently returned:

I can trust the process.
