The Smouldering One
“You’ve kept your fire small—contained. But it’s never gone out.”You’ve learned how to survive by softening your edges.To stay quiet so others don’t feel threatened.To feel deeply and still hold it all in.But your dragon is stirring now.It doesn’t roar—it hums in your belly, behind your heart, in your throat just before you speak the thing you’ve never said aloud.You don’t need to push.You don’t need to explain.You need to listen to the fire that’s always been with you.Begin with breath.Let it remind you that you are not broken.You are just... becoming.
