Hannah was a lovely girl, walking around in the world with immense talent that she mostly kept to herself. She was waiting. Waiting to be steady, to be ready, to feel the enoughness and confidence it takes to enter into the uncertain territory of sharing her creative endeavours with the world.

We, her spiritual and creative guides, have pondered as to the reasons she has been waiting with her gifts unexpressed. Or expressed but later abandoned for this, that, or another reason. Always another distraction. More resistance than we have seen for a long time.

And time and again, she would try to lean on others. To depend on others. To believe their word and their power as greater than her own.

It wasn’t working.

Time and again, the doors kept closing. Kept slamming in her face. Helpless and defeated, she would be thrust on her own again. Nobody cares, she concluded.

But why don’t I? She wondered…

If nobody cares, than why don’t I. Show up and create, and not care what they think or how it turns out.

This seemed like the best way to live, and so she started out. Or picked up where she had last left her endeavours. With a stubbornness of commitment to do what she could to own her life and create despite all things, in her view, not quite yet in place.

She realized that she was in the perfect place, in the perfect time, to launch out into the world, trusting her talents and passions would bring her the joy and freedom and love she longed for. She used her power to create, and that was enough.
