[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 673881, member: 17461"] I think that is the nature of the battle, Leafy. We are not giving ourselves permission to love ourselves. I don't know how to do that, either. I do know how to hold an intention of compassion for myself, and I know how to sit with those very, very ugly feelings. Here is a secret: I think that might be enough. :O) Those are our tools; those things we can do, and one another to witness for and bear witness to. These are hard things to accomplish. To accomplish them, we confront a Child's view of mortality. We did not know they would not kill us with their killing rage and their blank eyes. Or with cruel words and ridicule, or whatever tools they used. We must trust ourselves very much now to risk exposing the real heart. We have done harder things, routinely. It is only a matter of time, now. We are meant to be whole. I think I have finished reading this thread. I am going to read about how Martha Stewart takes care of her hair, now. They say she has a book out about living well physically. I am excited. Cedar [/QUOTE]
