Don’t let any one make you feel small…
Don’t let anyone make you feel small.
For sure feel small by a tree
with a huge trunk to lean against
branches stretching skyward
roots to digging wide and wild.
Let this make you feel small and lean in for shelter
and a hug
Or let a rock make you feel small as it holds up the sky
feels its age, its solidity and feel humble by its side.
By all means feel small by a river as it floods
and carves its path through land
feeding, creating, destroying, carrying, depositing
as it flows
But a person
like you
and me
who wants to make you feel small
is none of these.
They pretend to be huge when they feel small
they want to sink you low to feel high
make you feel fragile so they feel strong.
Rootless
fragile
stuck
and low,
we need not fear their shadow
but nod
and step around them
and continue with our
growth.
