Anything you polish with attention will become a mirror.
Anything to which you give yourself fully,
Vest all your strength,
Then risk all your vulnerability will return you to your life annealed,
Magnified,
Both unsolved and more deeply yourself.
Maria Popova What if you gave it all?
What if you vested the entirety of your will into that one thing?
What if you let the entirety of your being flow through your brush to the canvas in the way that's been scaring you?
What if the deep resonant composition that you've shoved away and shoved away,
You let rise and come to life?
What if?
What if in doing this,
You were quieter than you ever thought possible?
You became smaller than you could fathom.
What if in this quiet,
In this small,
You are not shrinking,
But expanding to the depths and widths of your fullest unique potential?
What if this quiet space,
This small space,
Weren't the depth of darkness you imagined,
But rather the brightest of light?
What if you weren't entering into a nothingness,
But an infinite expansion?
What if it were pure divinity and you were there?
What if you found yourself there?
You returned to yourself,
Annealed,
Magnified,
Oh so beautifully unsolved,
Because you will be more deeply yourself.
Awaken creative today.
