[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 680522, member: 19522"] Wonderful share Cedar. I have often though that fairy tales were the works of folks like us who had difficult childhoods. This is taken from the website you shared, [I]I thought of you when I read it.[/I] [SIZE=3]Holly Black [/SIZE] [U]"Bone Mother"[/U] The daughter is too bold to be anything but a cuckoo in the nest. Good girls sit home and sew in the dark. They don't go seeking fire in the witch's woods.

Diamond Ph.D. "By initiating and maintaining an ongoing dialogue between the two, a reconciliation between inner child and mature adult can be reached. A new, mutually beneficial, cooperative, symbiotic relationship can be created in which the sometimes conflicting needs of both the adult self and inner child can be creatively satisfied." We have been working so intently here at remembering and telling our stories, trying to figure out what is the truth of them, sitting with our feelings. Journeying towards our past, looking for answers. At times, we have felt lost. Here is an inspiring talk about wayfinding towards who we really are. [MEDIA=youtube]O7FJ9C7LkPY[/MEDIA] The class I am taking is tedious, and takes me away from the work here, I am following along with keen interest, and rising early to post, walk and reflect. Healing. What a beautiful word. Thank you Cedar leafy [/QUOTE]
