The Fraud Is The Fear Not You
The house is quiet now, and the mask you wore all day has finally slipped. You look around at the people who seem so certain, so put together, and you wonder if you are the only one pretending.
The terror whispers that everyone else knows the secret you missed. But the light does not require you to have it figured out.
It never asked for your performance, only your presence. There is a truth living inside you that is older than your doubt.
You do not need to earn your place here. The fraud is the fear, not the person feeling it.
Drawing from
Gospel of Mary 5:4-5, Matthew 6:6
