Not every flicker means something is wrong with the bulb.
Sometimes the bulb can hold its full power, and something with access is interrupting the connection.
How often do we respond by replacing the bulb?
We question the vision. Rewrite it. Shrink it. Work harder. Troubleshoot ourselves. Start another round of reparative soul work, because we assume the flicker must mean something in us is broken.
What if neither you nor the vision is the problem?
What if the environment you're in is extractive? What if someone has been given access they don't know how to hold responsibly? What if the work isn't changing the bulb, but protecting its connection to power?
The bulb can be the vision you carry. It can also be you.
Notice who and what gets close enough to touch the circuitry. Protection is not always isolation. Sometimes it is getting clearer about what has access.
This reflection came out of Voices of Vision, our conversations with people living their gifts out loud.
