Shadow of a Doubt
This is the ongoing journal of my personal awakening and that of the Love YOUniversity (TM) tribe with the help of The Love You Method (TM). Through up to date and un-edited realness, I hope to help you walk through your own awakening with more balance, love and ease in all core areas of life and business.
I sit to write,
easily the hundredth time in a year,
and find myself nervous.
Why does this feel different
from all the other times?
I don’t know
where the words will come from,
or what they will be.
And yet, that has always been the way.
What makes it different today?
Just me and my doubts.
The words are always there
in an endless stream.
A tap that could flow easily
if I got out of the way.
I feel myself constricting —
holding it back.
Afraid I’d be washed away
in the force of the current.
I don’t know where I would end up.
I could go places
I can’t even imagine
from my current perspective.
The unknown holds fear —
the mystery brings up
all my doubts.
They cast a looming shadow
into the empty space in front of me.
Daunting,
seemingly dangerous
to venture into the darkness.
But what if it’s simply open space?
A place to create,
nothing ominous.
Nothing to fear.
That seems foreign to me.
My whole life I’ve tried to predict.
Here, I find open space —
unpredictable.
It’s ok,
I tell the little ones within.
That is not a bad thing.
Simply unfamiliar.
The unpredictable can be our friend.
We will go on this journey together.
One step at a time.
