Within



She is within, but tomorrow I hope to open the door, once and for all. 
Wish me luck.

Huge step. May gentleness and slowness win the day. :)

Thank you Ruth. I'm struggling with gentleness. Needed to hear that.

Peace, we all need that

Hope it went well, Evan.

Thank you all for your comments. Evan - yes, it went/is going well. I have been bringing the eight-year-old home. With the exception of this adult self (which I most often think of as "me") she is the most fully developed and conscious part-of-self inside me. She seems to encompass all the ages up until age eight. She has been the guardian, the rag doll, the locked door and what lies beyond it.

So it's huge for me to be bringing her home, and for her to consider coming into the fold of all that I am. I welcome her. She is beginning to trust me.
