welcome
to this
moment
you wanna
hang out
with me
here?
for just
a little bit?
if so
can we be
radically honest?
about something?
can we be
honest
about
the ways
we deny
our own hearts
because we fear
what other people
might think?
not in a
judgmental way
of course
but just
as an opportunity
to let some
light in
maybe
there's a burden
maybe
there's a knot
in your stomach
something within
that says,
I wish
I could just
be honest,
I wish
I could just
be myself
and in the most
innocent and
adorable way
there's a fear
that says "no"
because of
what others
might think
that's okay
welcome
to being human
however
I do
invite us
to recognize
the insanity
of this
that we would
deny ourselves
of ourselves
because
of the thoughts
that might pass
through
somebody else's
mind
thoughts
that actually...
actually
have nothing
to do
with you
when will
it be time
to give
other people
back
to other people
so that
you can
give yourself
back
to yourself
to let people think
whatever
they think
so that you
can come home
to you
can we breathe
into that
for just
a little bit?
we don't have
to think about it
we can just
see it
we can acknowledge
the truth of it
and invite
a relaxation
through
a gentle breath
and the embrace
of right now
just breathe
I understand
that you might
be scared,
I understand
that it might seem
really, really hard
and that's okay
but
can we
also see
and it's really,
really important
can you tell me
what's more
important?
than
allowing yourself
to breathe?
allowing yourself
to be honest
with yourself?
allowing you
to be you
let the world
think
what the world
thinks
you don't need
their approval
see that
you're already
enough
as you are
and see that
you've been given
this one life
to come here
and play
to go
on a grand
adventure
of discovering
yourself,
discovering life
to discover
something beautiful
on the inside
of what you are
and then share it
with the world
not so that
the world
likes you
but because
it's the most
beautiful thing
you could do
discover love
and then
give love
away
thank you
for meditating with me today
