the energy I carry
The energy I carry has the ability to light up a room or cloak it with darkness. I know, I know that’s hard to believe. How could I have so much influence? How you ask? Because you are human. With a beating heart, and an aura of energy that follows you.
When you light up with joy and glee others feel that. And when you come in arms crossed, defiant, not wanting to play nice in the sandbox others feel that as well.
Just think about "you know who" and the way he points the room with his arrogance even through the computer screen.
Know that your gentle tone has the ability to calm and ground others. Know that you don't have to show up as anyone but yourself. Your energy is unique to you. It will ebb and flow with your mood and experiences. Sometimes you will be open and joyful and other times a little more closed off.
Be gentle with yourself. Know you aren’t alone. You have a community of love and grace surrounding you. Holding your energy when you are too tired to go at it alone.
