You Are Not Here to Play Small
A fern, symbol of resilience, protection and new beginnings…
You are not here to play small.
Stop hiding.
Stop looking for an escape.
Stop calling yourself inexperienced.
Life is your playground.
Words are your vessel.
Put your hands in the mud.
Leave your mark on the ground.
Drink from your bottomless well.
Listen to the whisper of the oak.
You are not here to play small.
Your tribe is waiting for this call.
Get out. Play. Move. Feel.
This is your Wonder. You are the Wonder!
— Elpida Trizi
These words found their way to the paper effortlessly, about a year ago, as part of a creative women circle. They belong here, as a collective self-reminder. Together with a picture taken on a bright, slow, January day at the slopes of the Ancient Agora of Athens.
Curious what they evoke in you. Connect with me if you want to share anything. I am always here to listen.
Such short poems are conceived as a co-creative conversation between a place and a mood.
