worthiness likes you

A dear friend has had his life turned upside down. And I know what that’s like. Most of us know what that’s like. When the people, and the jobs, and the identities and icons that we’ve used as reference points for our worth become destabilized then our fundamental sense of identity feels at stake. I sent my friend a word of encouragement and thought I would share it here, with you.

May you be encouraged

May you share these words and themes with those in your life who need encouragement today

Worth

you could write the most beautiful songs to soothe aching souls

you could invent a cure for all our ills

you could earn the favor of kings and women

and it may not add a spoonful to your sense of worthiness

Worthiness is unmoved by success and impact

it’s agnostic to your good influence, your power, your ability

Worthiness pays no mind to accolades and it does not faint with failures

Worthiness does not look for nods from gods and those who presided over love, who themselves did not know it

Worthiness is your birthright

it’s been there all along and somehow still needs mining to unearth its countless treasures

it looks at you in your most forsaken and desperate position and exclaims: you belong, you are loved

it sees you as you ascend self-constructed pedestals and declares: none of this is necessary - enjoy and steward what is yours, but know that accolades and achievements don’t move me

Worthiness is the great unmoved, unbothered

Worthiness likes you and invites you to join in
