When I feel overwhelmed by the sheer size of the task
And I am paralyzed with fear of failure and the unknown
When I am not even able to begin
lifting my head towards the light
Then
If I remember to be kind
I let myself
fall
crumble
wither
dissolve
In feelings of inferiority and unworthiness
And after that
I wait
And I trust
And I falter
And resume my task regardless
At least till next time
