Shy ones often have small issues in knowing what to say.
They often do better being told what to do.
When the decision is not theirs, they excel and put better energy into everyone’s lives.
Being shy is an interesting feeling.
At once, you feel sheltered from the chaos around you, and at the same time, do desire to be involved in the middle of all that chaos.
When end moment that comes makes you see the chaos desired approach, it is so easy to pull back, retreat to quiet spaces where the mind consoles and the touch of needed safety is perceived.
Perhaps, you are afraid of the dragons lurking just beyond, feeling that you do not have the power to make it though the passage.
Retreat is a place that makes you feel familiar with your hiding, in a way, a lie that things are as they have always been.
Is it that much of a salvation, that great of a relief to have permission to speak, permission to perform, permission to be accepted, when that allowance is given to you by one you perceive as a powerful will of integrity and voice that commands both respect and hands you that needed safe spot in life.
Beckoning hands, moving voices, desires that grow with the moment, the expectation, the need to be allowed the relief of knowing you have done so very well because you did not need to make a choice, a decision, voice the answer that has never been and will never be spoken.
Yes, you can do it. If only with and very quietly with a soft word and a softer touch, permission is a gift granted you in advance that, at the stairs threshold, you will be finally happy and content, not with what you did, but with yourself having done it.
