The Journey Inward

In receipt of
one loving parent
who listens well,
is thoughtful and responsive,
and validates the experiences
and points of view
of the inner family.

She 
is direct and trustworthy,
available and approachable,
affectionate and boundaried,
holding space
for our feelings.

Together
we laugh and play,
sit and feel,
process and regulate,
staying present in this moment.

We 
all have voice 
in this family;
we all feel safe.
