A kindness offered without a script.
A voice that steadies – I’ve got your back.
The subtle nod that says – I believe you.
The hush of courage – you can do it.

To perform without audience,
save for the mirror.
To rest in contentment,
wherever, however.

A soul who believes I deserve,
no less than they.
A heart that knows
life is not a transaction.

Do such ones walk the earth?
Do they ask this of me?
Or is the secret this –
to become that one
for myself.
