Dear Gaia:

“It’s like I was on a path to develop nicely but then I went for another, sideline path and my whole self got twisted and sick”-

– we all start “on a path to develop nicely”, at least, the vast majority of babies do.

But then many millions of babies starting on that path get sidelined. Young children are resilient and nature does its best to protect the young children (ex. disassociate so to not hurt too much), but nature can do only so much when the family we are in messes us up.

We forget how we were and how we felt as  young children, and as we got older. We tend to remember teenage years more so than earlier years. We tend to remember small portions of the early years and..  mostly if not solely, the happy or okay parts.

A child has an uncanny ability (provided by nature) to close her eyes to what she doesn’t want to see.

I mentioned disassociation. Healing is about re-association with that lost child of long ago.
