Fearless
I dreamed
of something bigger
like everyone else.
All the while
I was waiting
to take that leap.
And so my life
became an exercise
in restraint,
and I seemed
very small.
Bigger was always
a possibility,
but I chose small
because I was afraid
because I didn’t trust
because I wanted
to wallow in smallness.
It was a rich experience.
Then I fell.
I fell awake.
And now
I have no choice
but to be fearless.
In the cosmic theater, where dreams and fears collide, the journey from restraint to fearlessness is like a comet streaking across the night sky – brilliant, transformative, and awe-inspiring. The dream of something bigger, shared by many, is often tethered by the chains of fear and doubt, keeping us orbiting in a realm of perceived safety and smallness.
The Journey from Restraint to Fearlessness
The experience of waiting, the exercise in restraint, is a familiar tale in the annals of the cosmos. It’s a dance of hesitation, where the desire for expansion battles the comfort of the familiar. This period of seeming smallness is not a void but a rich landscape filled with lessons and insights, a preparatory ground for the eventual leap into the unknown.
Hesitation Before the Leap
Choosing smallness, often out of fear or lack of trust, is a part of the human experience. It’s a sojourn in the realm of comfort, where the boundaries are known and the risks are minimal. Yet, in this space of smallness, there’s a richness of experience, a depth of introspection that fertilizes the soul for what comes next.
Smallness as a Rich Experience
The moment of falling awake is a pivotal point in the cosmic journey. It’s an awakening, a sudden release from the shackles of fear and doubt. This awakening thrusts us into the realm of fearlessness, not as a choice but as a natural evolution of our being. It’s a liberation, a free fall into the vastness of our potential.
Awakening to Fearlessness
Now, in the state of fearlessness, the possibilities are endless. The barriers of fear and hesitation dissolve, revealing a horizon teeming with opportunities for growth and exploration. It’s a call to embrace the vastness of our being, to step into the larger version of ourselves that we’ve always dreamed of.

In the heart of the stars, we shine so bright.
