Constellations of Enough — Week One

We’re starting under a later moon tonight.

The constellation waited, now it’s ready.

Language can still nourish when everything else feels thin.

Welcome to Constellations of Enough, our new five-week writing ritual.

✳️ Your Core Star

Name something that nourished you without a plate.

Orbitals

🌿 Sensory Anchor

Inhale something familiar from your kitchen: coffee, rice, cinnamon, air.

Listen for the sound it makes when stirred. Write that rhythm.

☄️ Comet Path

Compose a recipe poem for resilience.

Post your full constellation below (Core Star → Comet Path).

Include your Seal of Enoughness at the end:

My language still rises, even when the pot remembers scarcity.

Tag your post with #ConstellationsOfEnough so the archivists can find it.
