Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “at the beginning.” Use it any way you’re inspired to. Enjoy!

❤

At the beginning healing is challenging
like learning to breathe in a new season,
where the air tastes of memory and salt,
and every step sounds louder than it should.

You trace your pain like constellations,
naming each wound for what it once meant —
a promise, a loss, a quiet collapse.
You learn the language of your own undoing.

But slowly, the ache softens its edges.
You notice how light spills differently now,
how morning forgives the night without asking,
how the body still hums — not broken, but becoming.

In time, healing is less about fixing
and more about allowing —
letting the rain fall where it must,
letting the heart grow wild again.
