Dear Zoe
Your dream is alive and mysterious
Your gift is seeing the world exactly the way you do
Get in touch with what’s soft, cute, and beautiful inside you
You don’t have to work hard to get to it
You don’t have to cover it up with something rigid, something rational, something that you think makes it more “finished”
The raw gift is what’s valuable
Not the scaffolding around it
Stop holding onto the form
You are being invited to come in
Not climbing more
Not studying more
Not leaving the crowd anymore
Stop carrying your treasures on your back and start spreading them out
And it’s easy
If you just let yourself be
If you just let your voice be heard
If you just create, without the pressure to be judged
The criteria to be good and presentable
The reason to be
You are ready to land
You are ready to be received
Feel into the softness inside you
And touch the softness beneath you
Create
You are an artist
Your art is ready
