You Are Already Seen and Loved

The sun is dipping below the line, and the armor you wore all day suddenly feels too heavy to keep on. You are terrified that someone might see you now, in this quiet moment, before the performance is ready for tomorrow.

You feel exposed, like a house with the lights on and the curtains open. But listen — the light that lives inside you does not need your costume to shine.

It was there before you learned to perform, and it will be there when you finally stop. You came from the light, the place where the light came into being on its own accord.

You do not have to manufacture it. You only have to stop hiding it.

The fear says: cover yourself. The truth says: you are already seen, and you are already loved.
