Dear Cali Chica:

Thank you. Tenderness, that soft feeling, affection, I feel it too for you, and it is still.. a bit awkward for me because of so many, many years of this soft part being shut down, pushed down, minimized best my brain was capable of doing.

Begin the exercise then, if you have something in mind start with it. If you need me to start somewhere, here it is:

Little Cali Chica, when you brought a friend over, and your mother was so happy, that made you feel good. When your friend was gone and you were alone with your mother, she was upset that your friend’s mother had an easy day and she worked like a slave. What did you think then, when that happened, do you remember?
