Gentle

We can practice being gentle with each other by being gentle with that piece of ourselves that is hardest to hold, by giving more to the brave bruised girl child within each of us… We can quiet her frenzy toward perfection and encourage her attentions towards fulfillment. Maybe then we will come to appreciate how much she has taught us, and how much she is doing to keep this world revolving towards a powerful future.
