What Was Never Mine
“Some losses break you open so light can finally reach the places that were never allowed to breathe.”
A home that was given, then taken back. She leaves at midnight.
Loss is not an ending ~ it is a summons. What is taken from us often reveals what we were never meant to carry. And what we plant with love always finds us when we need it most.
- What have you lost that was actually making room for something truer?
- And what have you planted ~ in love, in faith, in hope ~ that might be waiting right now to lead you home?

I am still here. I am still counting. I am still becoming.
You are not lost. You are following the current. You always know the way home.
Loss is not an ending ~ it is a summons.
What is taken from us often reveals what we were never meant to carry.
What we plant with love always finds us when we need it most.
The capacity to give does not disappear when you are the one who is empty. Sometimes giving is how you fill yourself back up.
All of it water. All of it home. All of it leading me back to myself.
This teaching closes Passage Three of The Well Being of Water: Surrender to Self, a lyric memoir in thirteen passages by Amal Lana.
