My heart really does ache for what you have been through, what others have put you through and subsequently what you have then put yourself through.
This country needs you to be your true authentic self, to be and show up as the gentle man that you are.
It is not easy, and there is no quick fix, but you need to feel safe to do this. You need to stop having to endure the macho culture and expectations to harden up or take a concrete pill. You need to feel that you don’t have to ‘drink piss’ or ‘talk shit’.
We need to see your talents, your creativity, your amazing gifts.
This country needs your compassion, empathy and love.
Children need role models that show them this world can be safe, to show them hope and respect and that it’s okay for them to be themselves.
We need the peacekeepers, the community builders. We need people like you who lead from the heart.
We need the artists, the musicians. the writers, the poets, the creatives.
We need those with green fingers, who look after the land, the environment, those that are at one with the outdoors.
We need your strength and understanding in our health service.
Our students need your wisdom, new ways and ideas in the classroom.
This country is beautiful but it is broken and it sure isn’t working with society as it is at the moment.
Please keep reconnecting with your light, your gifts, your passions. Please embrace your uniqueness. Your time has come to shine.
