** This post was written by Jo Crawford of Crafting the Sacred for The Harvest.

In the garden of my heart
I secretly sow seeds of intention -
Some named love
Others hope and connection

Each unique in shape and form
Carrying the energy of Jo-ness
And the promise of a beauty yet unseen

I eagerly watch as their first shoots emerge
Cracking through the earth of distrust
Twisting around weeds of self-doubt

Pushing their way upwards with purpose
Leaves unfurling to the warmth of my attention
Soaking in the waters of my compassion

Persevering through setbacks and pruning
Thriving with nurturance and care
Their blossoms turn to fruit ripe for the picking

And so it is that I harvest my heart work
Sewn with love, hope and connection
Tendered with healing and intent
Harvested with plenty to share.
