The Girassol Journal 🌻

There was one sound among hundreds of birdsongs that I couldn't find, couldn't name, and couldn't stop listening for until the day I finally did. A reflection on noticing, patience, and the quiet sounds worth searching for.

One morning, a workout that didn't happen taught me more than most full ones have. We take care of everything around us without a second thought. So why do we treat ourselves like we're the exception?

Most of us knew how to be completely ourselves once. And most of us can trace, if we're honest, the quiet moment when we started to forget. This is about that moment, and the way back.

Home isn't always a place. Sometimes it's a time of day, a smell, a sound, a feeling in your feet on the floor. A love letter to the small things that bring you back to yourself.
