NIGHT SEVEN · KALARATRI · SIT WITH HER
What If I Still Feel Scared?
Learning more does not always change a feeling right away.
Veda:
“I know more now.”
Veda:
“But She still scares me.”
Ammomma:
“Knowing more does not always change how something feels right away.”
Akka:
“Do you want to stop?”
Veda:
“No.”
Veda:
“I still want to know.”
Ammomma:
“Then we can keep learning.”
Understanding and comfort are not the same thing.
Sometimes learning changes our first impression quickly.
Sometimes it does not.
We can still ask questions.
We can still listen.
We can still stay curious without
pretending our feelings have disappeared.
You can understand more and still feel unsure.
Curiosity does not require us to erase what we feel.
Can you stay curious even when you do not feel completely comfortable yet?
