The Lord will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail. Your people will rebuild the ancient ruins and you will raise up the age-old foundations; you will be called Repairer of Broken Walls, Restorer of Streets with Dwellings.

Isaiah 58:11-12

I give up clinging. I give up the reality of living in a cave, protective and in the dark. I want to be a garden, a delight and a gift for others as well. I want my health to be enjoyed by those around me. I want to share my joy, share my healing, share my journey, share myself with those who step into our shared spaces. I give up gripping and clinging. I want to flow like the rivers in the garden. I want to bloom like the flowers. I want to be, without a need to impress or a need to show off — just as I am is beautiful.
