A blessing for anyone who is struggling to find their sense of self-worth. May these words be a blessing and a showering of love upon you.
Dear one, if you have moments
Where you feel unworthy of love
It is no failing of yours
The language of the world is of numbers and values
These are the tools given us to quantify our value
Such dead language
Scrambles communication
Between mind and soul
But here’s the frightening truth (if you are ready to hear it):
You do not have to earn your worth
In fact, you cannot
This birthright sits within you
Closer than the heartbeat
It whispers, as a lover,
You are Love, you are Loved
You are worthy of Love
Release from your hands
The words and the memories and the impossible standards
These instruments of measurement
With which you have punished yourself
And prepare to realise
That you are the Love you have sought
No matter the mistakes you have made,
The people who couldn’t love you,
Your successes and your failures
You are Love, you are Loved
You are worthy of Love
Your heartbeat-prayer continues
Don’t be fooled by its quietness
Compared to the voices of your inner demons
The truth of something is not proven by how loud it is shouted
Patiently return to the truth
You are Love, you are Loved
You are worthy of Love
And with hands finally empty
May you find yourself
Arm-in-arm with your soul
