be so sweet with yourself.

soften and soften and then soften again.
illumination is not about outshining
but about having such warmth in all of your parts that they feel safe to show themselves.
the light of your softness
is an invitation
for the most scared pieces of you
to have their hands extended, to come out from hiding, covered in mud or blood or dirt,
willing to be seen
not in the bright light of judgement
but in the soft glow of love.

eyes and the way that they can look
can change the way a person feels.
a soft gaze
with only love behind it
can be filled with more invitation than a book of poetry.

cultivate this sweetness with yourself. and let the moon be the reflection of how you can do it.
telling you in your body
the most gentle parts
sensitive parts
are welcome here.

may you breathe softness into yourself. may you breathe protective pink sweetness around your body. may you tell yourself and all of your parts that you deserve it, and may you know it to be true.
