Your poem is so beautiful, Susan, and so thought provoking. We are quick to give love and compassion to others. We mother our children, calming them when they are scared, singing to them as they fall asleep. We listen to others rehash their day, asking what they need from us. Yet it doesn’t even occur to us that, just maybe, we should treat ourselves with the same love and compassion. There is a scared little girl inside most of us who needs to be loved, to have her hair braided, to be heard. “What do you need, my darling?” Open your heart and listen. 💕
Thanks Patti, as you say we are quick to give love and support to others and in turn we look outside ourselves for love and happiness. What a radical act of self-love it is to turn within and to love and nurture yourself, just as you are.🌹
Happy to join in the Stillness
What lost child stepped forward for you as you listened, Therese?
