the secret fear that your success has made you a stranger to the people who loved you when you were small

You Are Not Too Big To Be Held

The day is ending, and the quiet brings a strange inventory: the success you worked for has built a wall between you and the people who knew you first. You feel like a stranger in the room where you once belonged.

But listen — the light that shines in you now is the same light that lived in you when you were small and had nothing to prove. It has not changed.

It does not make you foreign. While you were climbing, the Father was watching from the porch, waiting for you to come down and sit.

The distance you feel is an illusion of the dark; the love that held you then is holding you still. You are not too big to be held.
