| Sea Cucumbers |
Do you know of them? Their ability to regenerate, or as 20-year-old Max explains to me, “to grow and to grow again?” Sea cucumbers, as a defense, can release their organs to a predator, slipping away to be quietly reborn in 1-5 weeks. Spending themselves entirely. Allowing themselves to be made new.
Waiting patiently, week after week, knowing restoration is already happening within them. Knowing change is on its way.
They do not sow their failures, reap their mistakes. They do not store away each hurt. They do not cater to their wounds and they do not cling to their scars.
Instead: they spill their guts, surrender their insides, become reborn.

| They regenerate, and regenerate again. |
It sounds a bit like mercy, I think. And patience. Quietly, expectantly awaiting your own small and many rebirths. Delivering them, then allowing them to deliver you.
