TO THE SENSITIVE ONES - Jeff Foster

Inglisekeelne luuletus sõnumiga - ´Ära häbene oma tundlikust!` 

​Do not be ashamed of your sensitivity!
It has brought you many riches.

You see what others cannot see,
Feel what others are ashamed to feel.

You are more open, less numb.
You find it harder to turn a blind eye.

You have not closed your heart,
in spite of everything.

You are able to hold 
the most intense highs
and the darkest lows 
in your loving embrace.
(You know that neither define you.
Everything passes through.
You are a cosmic vessel.)

---

​Celebrate your sensitivity!
It has kept you flexible and open.

You have remained close to wonder. 
And awareness burns brightly in you.

Don't compare yourself with others.
Don't expect them to understand.

But teach them:
It’s okay to feel, deeply.
It’s okay to not know. 
It’s okay to play 
on the raw edge of life.

Life may seem ‘harder’ for you at times,
And often you are close to overwhelm.

But it’s harder still 
to repress your overwhelming gifts.

Sensitive ones, 
Bring some gentleness into this weary world!
Shine on with courageous sensitivity!
You are the light bearers!

- Jeff Foster
