I wish I could show you,
When you are lonely or in darkness,
The Astonishing Light
Of your own Being.
– Hafiz
One of the greatest gifts you can get from those close to you – their reflection of your true self.
When you let others see you as you truly are, they will be astounded and astonished. True, this may overwhelm some at first with your dazzling brightness. Stay with them. Without being attached to whether they clearly see you or not, be open to seeing how they see you.
This is a gift for everyone – you and them. Let your inner light shine!
