Not only protecting me, harboring me, keeping me from landing with both feet, arms plugged into power, heart open, vulnerable and at ease. Cowering. I hid, thinking it didn't matter. Somehow I was shielded. The truth will set you free. Being with myself, fully sitting where I can see. Bear witness, unconditionally, forgive, fight forward, community. My immunity in charge, and yet not. I understand the power of shadow. I am sorry for letting you down
