If we never open up,
We will never get rejected.
And also if we never open up,
We will never get connection.
What will we choose?
Remember,
Everybody is afraid almost all the time.
It's not about you.
Embrace small talk in the beginning.
Listen to people and wait until their fear subsides.
This fear is not personal for you.
Everybody is utterly afraid of intimacy and genuine connection.
Just because you can shift wavelengths quickly doesn't mean that everyone can.
Or that others are even aware of some tunes they could be attuned to playing and listening.
Start small with others and see if it can build.
Don't kick in the door,
Wave in the 4-4.
A lot of time is needed before deep conversations about essence.
Do less,
Speak less,
Breathe,
Accept and observe.
The moment for you to step in will reveal itself in time.
Your gems of wisdom are within you,
Whether you share them or not.
Your value is not diminished and for most,
Just the space and presence that you provide,
The feeling that you are not afraid of intimacy like the majority,
Is what they need and what is enough.
I feel their fear.
I feel my courage.
I feel their emotions.
I feel my presence.
I hear their fragmented fields.
I hear my steady rhythm.
