Resonating Through Shared Humanity: The Fortress of Kindness and the Right to Defend

This is where the magic happens. Or at least the awkward self-reflection.

For those feeling unsafe in their gentleness.

“I give you the cosmic permission to stand behind your walls and shut the gates on those who act as though they wish to burn your city to the ground.”

Worthy child, I feel your fear, and it makes sense. You fear they will hurt you, that their ire and harsh words are not necessarily a reflection of you, as that growth has been long, but rather that your life and state of calm and control do not feel safe. When others are angry around you, despite it telling you more about them, it does not feel okay to be around.

Defended child, you are safe. Safe in that you are doing the best you can to show kindness and not be needlessly aggressive. You try your best to find the place of peace where you do not put others at risk by reacting to the bait. Those who attack you while you maintain kindness are doing the wrong thing. Does it make it easier to deal with? No, I'm afraid not. But it does help to describe how we can move forward, as though it is a child being aggressive to get attention. Let them know that they are allowed to be upset and that their behaviour needs to improve.

You have the right and the permission to do this. I know you struggle to perceive them, but you have needs too—a need for safety that has not been advocated for. I give you the cosmic permission to stand behind your walls and shut the gates on those who act as though they wish to burn your city to the ground.

You are strong, sweet child, and I wish to see you soar. So rise high and defend when you are threatened. No world is complete without the strong to defend the weak. I will inhabit you to defend you when you feel weak. I will allow you righteousness that gives you strength to defend, not to start war. If harm is done, it will be done defending the small.

May love defend you as the armour I would shed for you in sacrifice. Let a smile replace your fear, for I am here for you, ready and waiting, your loyal soldiers rallying to your defence.

🗝️ Three Paths to Make This Yours - Unlock Your Understanding:

How would I protect my peace while still living from a place of kindness?

• 🧠 The Thinker’s Path: I would define clear emotional boundaries and prepare responses that honour my values under stress.

  • 🧠 Reflect on past moments when you overextended kindness—then write down 3 boundary scripts you can use next time.

• 🌿 The Wanderer’s Path: I would listen to what my nervous system needs, and let kindness flow from grounded safety.

  • 🌿 Do a body scan next time you feel unsafe, and act from the wisdom of what your body asks for.

• 🔥 The Challenger’s Path: I would stop apologising for needing peace and call out harmful behaviour when I see it.

  • 🔥 Call one behaviour out this week—clearly, kindly, and firmly—without softening your truth to make others comfortable.

The truth is simple and hard: You’re always one choice away from a new path.

Whispers of truth. Meant for you!
