There are moments when judgement falls away
and the air feels lighter.
A space opens, wide enough for honesty,
wide enough for risk,
a place where uncertainty is not a weakness
but a beginning.
I remind myself to loosen the grip of expectation,
to listen before I decide,
to notice the quiet signals that trust is being built.
Creativity grows best
when people feel safe enough to reach beyond themselves,
to try, to stumble,
to discover something new without fear of being diminished.
Freedom is not given, it is nurtured.
It asks for patience,
for the humility to step back,
for the courage to hold space for others
even when the outcome is unknown.
When I forget, I return to this thought,
that openness is the soil where true creation begins,
and that by protecting it,
I am also learning to set myself free.
