You Are The Permission
Feb 20, 2026For the women that know that when they strip away false humility, fear of what others think, fear of their bigness or smallness, fear of their joy or power or magic - that their art, their heart and soul, and what gets channeled through them has the capacity to change the way someone's breath moves through their body, has the way to change the trajectory of the way energy moves on this planet, has the light inside of it to create a more beautiful world all of our hearts know is possible...
To the woman not asking for permission, but is rather here to be the one to Be the permission for others. For the women ready to own who they are here to be. Who created intimacy with the darkness, who sat in the dark long enough to know each shadow by name. Who has vowed to love what is inside and outside and beyond forever. Who doesn't shy away from grief, rage, grittiness. Who sat in the dark long enough that they can create art and dance with the movements the light and dark create when they dance with each other. Who knows the mystery so intimately, and knows and honors all the parts of the mystery that she does not know.
For the woman who is ready to stand tall in her radiance, without posture or performance, and say Hineni, Here I am - And Be and love her I Am. Who knows her mission is larger than her fear of being perceived or misunderstood or being seen as self-centered. Who knows that to Be who she is is why she is here. Who knows her art makes the world tune in, tap in, and turn on - her art makes the world turn up its brilliance. Her Being vibrates on the frequency of infinity - and she knows this is true for everyone. She knows everyone's Beingness is from the same Source. She knows that when she allows her soul to shine, it is so generous - it reminds everyone that we are all different flavors of the divine.
To the woman who creates wild art in her imagination. Who, in her mind's eye, stands on stages in public or private, shining the light of Hashem. Who co-creates the constellations her current or future grandchildren live inside of. Who used to paint paintings and sing songs of yearning and now shares those same paintings and songs of having and Being and allowing and Be-longing. Who is permission embodied, enoughness in motion, creativity in bloom.
I invite you to consider today, if you choose, that your radiance is medicine for the world. That your art gets to flow with ease. That your claiming of yourself from the seat of your soul is simply proclaiming the faith that you have in something larger than you - your faith in God. That creating is simply being like the creator. That you can stay with darkness while Being light, simultaneously. That only you can be the vessel for what wants to flow uniquely through you. That over-processing and overthinking can be delaying the gift of the art and heart and light and beauty that only you bring to this cosmic dance.
We are souls having a human experience. I want to speak to all of you: To your human, I want to say: Thank you to your human parts for wrestling and reckoning. I see the ways in which you desire to shine with integrity, from a place of truth, of source, of essence - from a place that is for the good of all. It makes sense to feel challenged. You can feel your feelings all the way through while knowing you are not your feelings. And to your soul, I want to say: Good job for never giving up. For never letting the spark get too quiet. For deciding that NOW is as good a time as any, to turn that spark into a beautiful fire, to orient towards the limitless vessel, and to Shine, Shine, Shine like only you can.
