I asked for a softer heart, not a simpler life

Dear Delyara, That prayer surprised me. I used to ask mostly for things to change. To become clear, lighter, easier, more settled. This week I found myself asking for something different: a softer heart inside the same uncertainty. That feels like a more grown form of faith somehow. Less dependent on conditions. More interested in who I become while I live through them. I still want change. I also want softness not to disappear while I wait. That matters to me.
