Day by day.
Play.
Play I feel today. This morning, rocky, sharp, aching. An early yoga wakeup led way to a time of... showing.
This morning I came back to the room, and she inspired such sweetness in me. As we greeted good morning and I held her with affection, my emotions stirred. A tile let out a sordid whisper from the ground, the underground: "we're still here. it still hurts. show us. please."
And that I did today. We held a space of sharing. I opened and shared. She pointed out to say what I said without smiling, and as soon as that happened, I realized my smile was the anchor that was keeping them... tamed. My emotions tamed. Powerful. I had not known. As with my overexcitement during budding relationships, I covered my entire personality in smiles at all times, and it covered my sadness and hurt just like a tile floor over my... shadow. Shadow :0
Space and care and massage. Thank Us <3
