Thank you for joining me today on Insight Timer.
I'm Deb Lambert.
I wanted to share with you a letter I wrote in hopes for those that need it,
Will find it and hear it.
I ask you to get yourself into a comfortable position,
Whatever that looks like for you,
And closing your eyes and just setting an intention to listening,
To hearing the words being spoken.
So as you breathe in a comfortable position with your eyes closed,
Find your rhythm.
If you need that initial big deep breath in,
Take it long and slow out.
There are moments when the world feels too heavy,
Too loud,
Too fast,
When everything familiar begins to unravel and the deeper questions begin to rise.
What is happening to the world?
How do I hold it all?
What can I still offer from the heart?
This letter was born in one of those moments.
It is not a forecast.
It is not fear.
It is a reflection for those who feel more than they can explain.
For those who sense that something bigger is unfolding beneath the noise.
For those who know that compassion,
Stillness,
And presence are not just reactions,
They are revolutions.
You may be a parent,
A teacher,
A scientist,
An artist,
An atheist,
A materialist,
A spiritualist,
Or simply someone who has chosen not to look away.
If you've been quietly grieving,
Quietly awakening,
If you've been trying to live intentionally while the world spins wildly,
This is for you.
Let it be a mirror,
A companion,
A breath of remembrance.
The world to come is not waiting for someone else to build it.
It's already growing inside of people like you.
May these words help you feel less alone,
More anchored,
And more certain than your presence still matters,
Perhaps now more than ever.
Hope is not naive.
Hope is the first flame in the dark.
It is the softest form of courage and the most radical thing a person can carry in a world that tells us to numb,
Distract,
Or despair.
Wanting to bring hope to the hopeless is important work.
It's work from the heart.
It means you remember something the world is trying to forget,
That hearts can still open,
That beauty still matters,
That presence is still medicine.
So know that your hope is not misplaced.
It is anchored in love and you,
The brave soul listening and pondering.
What can you say or do to bring hope to others,
You may ask?
Just thinking this means that you are a trailblazer.
Now go do what you need to do and bring hope to those that need it and rest in this truth.
Your hope is not just a feeling.
It is a calling and you're answering it with reverence.
Deb Lambert.
I want you to just close your eyes.
Keep them closed and breathe and just feel.
What do you feel?
Asking these things are important.
Discovering yourself each and every day matters because you matter.
Answer your calling of hope.
What brings you hope?
What image?
What words?
Discover them for yourself and share them.
Be the ripple.
Thank you.
