Many people have so little of it in their life or would even understand that concept. Love how you describe the simple things that support safety...<br /><br />I remember years ago you saying privacy is a mental health issue.....so is safety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-53357803959374096212017-12-23T15:37:06.926-05:002017-12-23T15:37:06.926-05:00I am not sure how to make everyone feel safe but t...I am not sure how to make everyone feel safe but the descriptions you gave of the feeling you had this day are wonderful. I can just imagine the smells and sounds and I certainly know the feeling.

I've only met you once, so it is hard to 'see' you - though you reveal parts of your self clearly. <br />what you describe feels to me like what a baby feels being held when he is well-fed, warm, and in his mother's arms...that first intimate and life giving connection...<br />i think that experience of safety and belonging and serenity is what we all long for...and it is so rare for adults. How to ensure this experience for those who have disabilities, or who are seriously ill or in pain, or aging and feeling trapped is a mystery.<br />A few moments of that experience - such as you write about- is powerful and transformative for the recipient and the giver, if the giver is aware. <br />thank you for your gift of this blog that you give to us...<br />and happy birthday to you!clairesmumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235828110880302069noreply@blogger.com
