Big On the Inside

Some people are big. Big personalities. Big in size. Some people’s bigness is a reaction to how small they really feel inside.

Some people are small. Some people, big or small, are big on the inside.

Last night we watched Sylvan Esso live in Denver at the Ogden theatre. Lead singer Amelia Meath is big on the inside. Her four-inch platform heels make her stand five foot seven tall, but her big voice, big heart, and big insides make her powerful.

I like being near people who are big on the inside. When they project their bigness it invites me to do the same.
