This word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.

The incubator rocked the eggs slowly back and forth for 21 days… The seeds went into the garden dirt and were soon reborn. The seeds raised their heads and then branched out into full-grown plants. I prayed the chicken eggs would soon become fully developed chicks.
Dreams in the Wordless Place
