spring & the sacred work of deconstruction

I’ve always loved spring. There’s something sacred about the way the earth slowly wakes up after a long, cold winter. Tiny green shoots push their way through the soil, trees begin to bud again, and color returns to the world. It’s like creation itself is exhaling after holding its breath for months.

Lately, I’ve been thinking about how much the season of spring reminds me of the journey of deconstruction.

If you’re in that space right now—unpacking long-held beliefs, questioning systems you once trusted, or simply trying to find what’s real—I want to encourage you: this season you’re in might feel uncertain, even a little bit barren at times, but that doesn’t mean life isn’t still unfolding beneath the surface.

Just like in nature, the process of deconstruction can feel like winter—cold, lonely, stripped down. Things that once felt certain may no longer hold the same meaning. But what if this isn’t an ending? What if it’s a beginning? What if it’s your spring?

Deconstruction is not about destroying your faith or your identity, it’s about creating space for something new, something rooted and real. It’s about clearing out what no longer fits so that truth, love, and connection can grow in its place.

Spring doesn’t rush. It comes gently, in its own time. And your healing and rebuilding will, too. You don’t have to have all the answers right now (or ever, actually). You’re allowed to ask the hard questions. You’re allowed to change. You’re allowed to bloom in ways you never expected.

This process you’re walking through is holy. It may not always feel beautiful, but beauty is being born in you even now. You’re becoming more whole, more free, more you—and that is something worth celebrating.

So be gentle with yourself. Watch for the small signs of life. Feel the warmth of the sun on your face again. Spring is here! And so is hope.

You’re not alone—and you’re not lost. You’re growing.
