wholesome love sits here
in the many "may's"
in the hope for what can be cultivated
and in the hope of what can come about
in the staircase of thoughts
and in the apex of
/\ \ / /\
/ s \ \ self / / s \
/ elf \ \ lo- / / elf \
/ - \ \ve/ / -acce \
/ value \ \/ / ptance \
stacked up against each other in the form a trapezoid
\ /\ /
\solid/&\stro-/
\ / ng \ /
\/ \ /
we share mantras her and I, sisterly maneuvering through this life
"We want to feel better" & "we want to be better",
...and so we set about finding the right equations
stacking meditations upon visioning upon affirmations upon counseling upon books of poetry, and teary-eyed artworks that carry our twisted knots that do not undo with words or the spitting out of crunched up syllables onto the ground
so we make shapes, some geometrical like the ones above

This poem centers around my childhood friend and me, who have been actively encouraging each other to continue our self-growth, by exploring together the use of meditations, affirmations, art, etc. There is something really powerful about sisterhood and our collective impact that I wished to allude to by referencing triangles which are the strongest shapes to build with in architecture
Personal growth is a journey; I have found that on this journey I need to surround myself with people and friends who actively try to grow, too (prioritize their growth) You need community dedicated to the same goal/objective.
