The Vine Holds You When You Break
The afternoon sun beats down on the middle of the day, exposing the heat rising from your own chest. You are afraid that the words you shouted, the anger you unleashed, have burned the bridge behind you forever.
You feel like a branch that has snapped itself off, left to dry in the dust, spiritually orphaned by your own failure. But listen — the vine does not break when the branch trembles.
The connection is held by the root, not by your grip. There is a love that is greater than your heart's condemnation, a love that knows exactly what you did and refuses to let go.
You are not cut off. You are held.
