I would like to tell you that you are magnificent

Some days just need ease. Like today. It’s an overcast and gray day, and at 3 pm it is already getting darker outside. I’m sitting a my local bakery with a coffee and a piece of bread with brown cheese (sweet goats cheese, it’s a Norwegian speciality). People around me are chatting lively, today is Friday and people go home from work early. I woke up feeling really heavy today, so I’m taking the day off – no work, no studying, no doing things that just needs to be done. Today requires ease. So I’m taking a deep breath. I’m not writing any huge and epic posts today. Instead, I’m listening for what needs to be said.

I would like to tell you that you are a magnificent and radiant being.

I would like to tell you that there is so much complexity in the world and the only way to manage it is to live it.

I would like to tell you I really appreciate all the lovely comments, the insightful e-mails and the re-tweets and links.

I would like to tell you there are possibilities for you – so wild you can’t even imagine.

I would like to tell you that you can do it.

I would like to tell you that even the best makes mistakes.

I would like to tell you to keep on going.

I would like to tell you I’m writing poetry that longs to be read.

I would like to tell you – take good care of yourself.

I would like to tell you to listen to yourself with your whole heart.

I would like to tell you I only write and post on the Freedom Experiment when I feel like I have something of value to share.

I would like to tell you that I, too, have good days and bad days.

I would like to tell you about Goddess Leonie, because she inspires me.

I would like to tell you about these e-book ideas I have.

I would like to tell you I want to make friends with you.

I would like to tell you I see you.

I would like to tell you the details don’t matter.

I would like to tell you to share what needs to be shared.

I would like to tell you about my dream.

I would like to tell you that you can reach yours.

 

I would like to ask you- what in your heart needs to be shared?
