The child
within each of us is fragile,
but very
much alive, and she interprets our experiences
before we
are even conscious of them. It is our child
who may fear
new places, unfamiliar people, and strange situations.
Our child
needs nurturing, the kind she may not have received in
the past. We
can take her hand, coax her along, let her know
she won't be
abandoned.
No new
place, unfamiliar person, or strange situation need overwhelm her.
It's
quite amazing the strength that comes to us when we nurture ourselves,
when we
acknowledge the scared child within and hold her,
making her
secure. We face nothing alone. Together, we can face anything.
I will
take care of my child today and won't abandon her to
face, alone,
any of the experiences the day may bring.
