initiation

“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”

— Joseph Campbell


The cave you fear to enter is never only stone and shadow — it is the part of yourself you turn away from. Fear guards the threshold to your becoming. To step toward it is to admit that something in you longs for more than safety. Inside the darkness, treasure waits: truth, strength, clarity. What feels like ending is initiation. You do not need to banish the fear, only carry it with you as you cross the edge. Today, ask gently: what cave is calling? And can you take one small step closer?
