I am safe to be seen.
I am safe to shine my light.
I am safe
when someone senses my spark
and responds
with admiration
OR condemnation.
NOW knowing,
discerning,
a stare
or a criticism,
doesn’t necessarily say
“DANGER”.
so, I stop shrinking…
…having experienced
a felt sincerity
from a stranger
on the street
who said,
“ you look gorgeous in that dress”
surprised by and appreciative of…
his candor.
Gone
are feelings of offense,
staying, still secure.
…Free from harm,
I continue on my hike to the market,
feeling liberated.
I let go of the
“THREAT”
reflex.
When
I’m aware
eyes are fixed
upon me,
I respond to it
as an opportunity
and enter
into
perception training.
I change the lens of conditioning
and contemplate,
perhaps…maybe…
an eyeball, a glance,
is merely a look of laud, respect, esteem?
Is that so bad?
I didn’t don
my white dress to solicit
compliments or whistles
but only as
an intention
to remind myself
(As well as passers by and pedestrians),
of my innocence,
(implied by white)
as an attempt
an initiation,
to introduce
a new belief
and to affirm
I am SAFE,
To BE seen,
To FEEL seen.
I AM SAFE
when people
feel my light
and let it
warm them.
