Rx: For the one who needs permission to begin again

Tide Pattern

The sea does not apologize for retreating.

It does not call itself a failure

for pulling back from the shore.

It simply gathers.

Deepens.

Returns.

You are allowed to do the same.

Beginning again is not starting over.

It is the tide doing what the tide does;

arriving at the same shore,

with more water than before.

Dosage: Read after a setback. Repeat until shame loosens its grip.
Refills: Unlimited. See you next Tuesday.
