We have arrived at a new time. And those who have walked through their own inner wilderness can feel it. For days, weeks, months, years, maybe lifetimes, we turned inward. We descended into the caverns of our subconscious. We cultivated our inner terrain like sacred gardeners. We played within the perspectives of our psyche. We met our minds in their brutality and beauty, in chaos and in clarity. We navigated the old narratives that once defined us. We sat with our shadows long enough to learn their language. We released grief from our bones with gratitude. We breathed into the tight places in our bodies. We learned how to witness and wield our worlds rather than go to war, work against or walk away from them. We learned how to hold ourselves. That was not wasted time. But this life is not a rehearsal. Now is the time to stand in your new story. No more postponing your power. No more holding your joy until you are flawless. No more shrinking your self until it feels safe. No more dimming your aliveness until the world approves. You do not need another breakthrough. You need your being. You don't need more preservation. You need participation. Here and now. The soil has been prepared. The shadows have been met. The story has been rewritten. Now step into the sunlight. And live.
