There was a line in your article that really stood out: "People aren’t your threat. Your fear is."
That sentence alone has been swirling in my mind.
It's such a simple yet profound truth, and I think it often gets overlooked. We tend to project our own insecurities and fears onto others, creating monsters out of mirrors. Your point about doing the inner work to strip off the ego-cloak is incredibly important. It’s much easier to blame others than to look inward, isn’t it? But you’re right; true safety does begin with that uncomfortable self-examination. It's about acknowledging those awkward parts of ourselves and making peace with them.
Can't say enough about this one. Strength from vulnerability is undeniably a force that creates survival and clarity. Maybe that is what being humble and reverent is all about.

Thank you 🩵
I want to pull out so many lines and quote them, so instead, I'm restacking the whole piece!
Everything about this and your humor is giving us that wink!
Hey Paulette. I appreciate you spreading the breadcrumbs.

Safety is a state of mind. Disaster shift consciousness big time.. reminding us ... thank you for this.. and the book I did not know about!
🙏
Love this Diamond-Michael. It's so true.
Why does 'Build longer tables, not higher walls' come to mind when I read this post. And, I agree, vulnerability rocks!
