there are some people in life
who you can count on to
believe in you.
i don't mean your mum and your dad
and your boyfriend and your best friend
since the third grade...although any one of
those many be one of these people.
*But there are some people who believe
and don't have to.*
My 43 year old kindred spirit who said
'i've seen a glimpse of who you are... you don't
need to be afraid.'
and
'you are priceless'
the one who chose me for leadership
even when i break the mold and have
mud on my face.
he believes in me.
he also says lots of other stuff,
like 'take a shit and get off the toilet'
(meaning stop your whining and get on with life)
but he believes in me...and he doesn't have to.
and that feeling, my knowing, is
liberation
empowerment.
i hope i learn to pass that on.
