Soften, why don’t you. “Oh, but softness is weakness!” you declare, and there you err. Your true essence is neither soft nor hard. Your true essence is simply being . . . Here, Now, Aware Awareness. And from this aware state, all experience arises. When you are in a protective, defensive state, insights and guidance from the higher perspectives are restricted. You think you can do quite well on your own? Please do so. When you stumble and suffer, perhaps then you will appreciate the bird’s eye view and a bit of direction from on high. When stuck, soften. When in a rip tide, float. Do you see? You will, as you let down your guard and listen.

You are so very loved.
