In my mind, I may don my elvish attire:
my magical greaves, my gloves of wisdom
the cloak that shelters me from harm
I stand, my mage-like self.
But as the mirror gives me back
my denim-clad and human view,
I could lament except…
except for this, my ring.
This ring which I put on long years ago
and which has not left me since.
This band, a ring of fearlessness.
And while you may laugh at me
do not, you, laugh at my ring
this silver ring imbued with
all the power I could put upon it.
I set it to remind me that, listen!
there is no power to make me fear
except that fear I grant myself
and so this silver band says no,
be brave and every day be so.
Seeking?

When things are not working for us, instead of fighting and struggling, we need to say, “What’s happening here? How am I not being true to who I am? What is pulling me away from my purpose?”
