Maybe with time, dedication and discipline, whatever is in me that wants to be known will come forward. Maybe it’s shy and doesn’t trust that I will give it the time and space it deserves – the time and space it needs to come forward in its full form. Maybe it’s a scared animal hiding in the bushes, or a cave. Maybe it wants to come out. Maybe it wants to risk being seen and known. Cared for. Maybe it just needs me to show up every day, to sit with it, to let it get comfortable with my presence, to trust that I will let it come forward and give it the time it needs to do so. Maybe with time and trust, it will grow stronger, more confident and will venture further and further out and into the light, to be seen by the world. Maybe it just needs to trust that I will be there to stay with it and protect it when it comes forward. Maybe it just needs a routine, some stability and security. Maybe I can give that to it.
