Growth is not in itself a virtue
And to seek it for its own sake
Is to have misunderstood its purpose.

We grow in and through
Movements that yield self-discovery,
Realization… a deeper seeing.

True growth is a natural process
Not a simulated artifice
It’s not a measure on a scale.

Leave things alone;
Let them simply be-
Immersed in time and space.

Allow them their abrasions
Allow them their struggles
Allow them their fight to be.

Growth is not merely expansion;
At its heart
It’s a search for possibility.
