All the inner voices,
calling out for attention;
some of them advocating for discord.
And yet,
quietly,
patiently,
there is also a soft voice calling forth from a simple wholeness.
It is not the loudest.
It lacks the drama carried by the other voices.
And, yes, even when you clearly hear it,
you still sometimes clam up into a forced silence,
denying yourself your own wholeness,
and authoring additional suffering.
That you are now clearly hearing the soft voice
is such a fine sign.
You are one step closer to embracing your misplaced love for yourself.
Remain courageous.
Love is at your door
and,
is not to be deceived
and,
is not to be denied
and
is not leaving.
