π Plant & Grow π±
ππ± A Thanksgiving Seed
Thanksgiving isnβt just about full plates π¦π½οΈ
itβs about roots Β the kind we grow on purpose πΎ
The soil remembers every hand that turned it π€²
every hope tucked beneath chilly November ground π
Some seasons feed us π₯
Some seasons stretch us πΏ
And hunger?
Itβs not always a rumble in the stomachΒ
sometimes itβs the deep ache to become
who weβre meant to be π±β¨
In backyards and borrowed plots ποΈπͺ΄
growth insists on showing up
even where concrete thought it had the last word.
One seed can feed a home π°π‘
One tree can shade generations π³π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦
And one hungry heart
can shift a broken system,
starting right where it stands πͺπ
So this Thanksgiving π
as we pass the mashed potatoes and gratitude π₯β€οΈ
may we plant new stories tooΒ
for the selves weβre becoming
and the gardens waiting to rise π·π
