I see you. I love you. You are free. You are strong. You are radiant by design.

Fear not your shining, for it is the light of the Beloved Himself placed within you.

Your words carry a heartbeat of fellowship with humanity, especially with those whose inner child has known fear, restraint, silence — yet who, by some mercy of grace, still shine.

I`ve watched you grow

through the years

I`ve watched you

seen you, been you

within my tears

I can still see you

These lines are highlighted in my reading of this and seem to reflect a moment of recognition, of seeing her clearly—not just as a memory, but as a living part of you that endures.

been you

Is like a pivot in your beautiful lines here🥺
