We don’t need to be highlighted signs or flashing lights for people to follow or to find us. They’re either looking for us or they aren’t.
No need to perform for our people. Some only know how to be with us when we’re making it easy for them. When we require low effort, but provide maximum output. When we’re on display. Turn off the stage lights, take off the mask and see who’s ten toes down.
But are we searching for us? Meeting with grace and kindness what we unearth or tear away from the shadows? Loving ourselves anyhow?
Forgiving ourselves for too long a betrayal and too constant an abandonment?
We got us. It’s about time we act like it.
