At the club dancing last night to the DJ, I was struck by how I could look at everyone and see their loveliness. Especially watching people dance or just move to the music. Something in that is so human and so beautiful. I love being in a space where people gather just to have a magical time. The other thing that jumped out at me was how I feel like I can look at people and see their little nuggets of fear or insecurity. And it makes them all the more lovely to me, and endears them to me. I want to go tell them they are wonderful and loved and just make them feel seen and valued for a moment. It’s such a wonderful emotional space to be in. In this feeling space it is impossible to feel self-conscious. Looking at others with so much tenderness seems to require an automatic tenderness towards myself as well. Feeling like I’m just my own little spark of the universe, unique and lovely in my own right, feels so good.
Agreed!!
