I am the exile who finds safety and connection in the hands of my true self—the one who carries wisdom from adult consciousness and knows I’m not stuck back in time.

This is where I can find the security and comfort to get to know, and let go of, what needs to be released. It’s here where I meet the playful young parts covered up by my protectors.

In this sacred, safely held space, these fierce protectors turn into pictures. They watch me find the true self also held within my exiles.

I’m not sure what will come of it, but I trust I will understand more soon.

It helps to feel the soul of my dad smiling alongside me.
