Stiff upper lip and thick skin blocked some of the blows,sure. But they also blocked something she needed more than oxygen, more profoundly than safety, more urgently than bars. . And now that she’s finally transparent, those places where her heart is the thinnest let by far the most sunlight through.

      Aren’t you proud of her? 😉 She has done well to remain soft, when she could be all bottled up to this day. I think I could learn from her….
