Messenger or fool? Does it really matter? Maybe it takes being the latter to ever have chance at becoming the first: living, giving, and telling the pieces of us we know better than to share but desire to speak and share all the same. Maybe knowing better isn’t always a faculty of reason but of fear—one of worry on judgement and after-acceptance when our vulnerabilities and deepest, closest-held convictions are made known to another. Maybe these are the parts of us that need most shared, not because they must be acknowledged and accepted, but that—in telling—we advance and guide others into confrontation and honesty with their own true selves, convictions, and beliefs that define and shape a spirit.
Whether messenger or fool, take the risk. Tell. Live a little faith. See what possibilities may become when we live and share from our depths and no longer the limits and safety of world’s shallows. Why are we driven too often by the fear and not the dream—which is as equally possible as the vision that deters.
Live a little faith.
