Dear lightbearer … when I see you being brave, stepping outside of known structures because something in you just knows they don’t fit … they don’t work … and maybe they never did … that the ways of being and doing you envision don’t yet fully exist. 

You cannot ignore that “the way we have always done it” is creating so much harm or keeping us all locked on this side of what is actually possible. Even if there are known structures that could help shore up your vision, part of you also knows that there’s something missing. That there is a depth or breadth or story or knowing that isn’t yet thriving in common culture. What is thriving in common culture is fear.

When I see you casting forward anyway… even though there’s no roadmap… even though there are no guarantees… even though the future is still coming into form. Bridging the space between now and not yet with your very body, mind and soul. I long to let you know that I am in your corner. That I want nothing more than to be your cheerleader. The whisperer behind the scenes who reminds you of who you are when uncertainty feels like it might overwhelm you. 

Not who I am. Not what I want you to be. Not what society thinks you should be. Not because I know your path better than you. I don’t. I cannot hold your vision … but I can help hold you. 

I long to hold spaciousness, rootedness, and belief with you as you step bravely into a vision that is still revealing itself. As you navigate resistance, uncertainty, shifting tides, and other people’s insistence on misunderstanding you, and still speak anyway. 

You speak it because you must. You create it because it will not leave you alone. And it can feel incredibly lonely at times. 

To hold vision is revolutionary. It is rebellion. It is resistance. And in order to hold it without losing yourself… you need root structures, you need scaffolding, you need support. 

In the moments when your self belief falters, when you start to question what it is all for and whether the universe really is going to catch you, I want to be there. To remind you that while only you can carry this vision, you do not have to carry it alone.

 Love, Booth
