Don’t be harsh on yourself. Don’t shrink your feelings. Talk to yourself — you deserve your own kindness.

You Deserve Your Own Kindness
The woman scrolls her usual scroll, not looking for anything in particular....then she sees it - not perpendicular. Ethereal, Quintessential. Moons and stars and coloured gems all glinting in the afternoon light. The woman afixes them to her curtain rail The girl gasps - her eyes wide. Rainbows danced across the walls, a shifting, sparkling tide. She breathes. She is delighted. It's such a little thing, she knows, The girl and I - She is me and I am She. The girl did not die in the fire She stepped out, glazed with gold. She still gasps at rainbows on the wall— proof that wonder never grows old.
