Popi,

You’re welcome! Yeah, the metaphor is just a metaphor, but its the heartsong, the attitude behind it that is true. I can see your crown clearly, can’t you?

Without metaphor, perhaps “what i see is your self-confidence is right there, obscured by your fear that you don’t have any self-confidence.” But that is boring to say, and perhaps boring to hear… too dry. We get so wrapped up in “ohmeohmy” sometimes, that we forget to play, to dream. 🙂

And, that’s wasn’t strength I gave you, dear princess, just a reflection of yourself. Said differently, perhaps you’re feeling your own strength from seeing yourself a little better. Fears sometimes make our eyes squinty. 😛

With warmth,
Matt
