Our words lose their power when we don’t use them with respect, and instead use them to steal our own power. When we speak unkindly of others. When we break the promises we make. But a weakened word can be strengthened – just like a muscle.

Strong words are spells. When you say something and truly mean it, you create. Words like that hold profound power: you can bring healing, spark transformation, shift the course of your life – or someone else's. Even re-write your family story.

Our family stories are, in many ways, both alike and different. Many words were left unspoken.
Many emotions, unexpressed. Many situations, unresolved and untouched for generations.

Words – spoken with care – can work magic. Even on things that have been stuck for so long that they feel unchangeable. Therefore, let’s stay aware of the power in our words, and use them with love and intention.

When you know what you wish to create, it becomes easier to shape it. This piece of poetry is my way of honouring the hardships, pain, and fear my ancestors endured. It is my attempt to heal through words – to step into my power by giving voice to what I know and feel of their story. It is my way of calling in love. Of choosing to wrap my ancestors’ struggles in words of healing. Of watching their suffering begin to dissolve, as I release the parts of me still carrying their unspoken pain by choosing to love them instead.

Words hold power.
May we use them as gentle spells –
to bring healing.
to build peace.
to conspire wholeness – within ourselves, and within our shared community.
