Maybe you've been sitting in a dark place. Maybe you're sitting in one right now. You might believe you're alone but you're never alone where you've gone. This place is the garden. It's quiet when we come here. You know...some people have said words to me before. They mattered a lot and then..they went away. I've felt cold for a little. Maybe you do too. It's scary when we realize nothing ever is so certain in this world. Fear is nature's warning. I want to tell you something. I'm terrified of people. I'm scared to get close. I'm afraid they're going to see me deep down and they're not going to like what they see.

I'm quiet a lot of the time. Just like the garden. It's not..good for us. We might think it is because nothing ever happens down here. We begin to believe our reward is simply to not be punished. That to feel better we must not feel at all or take a chance on ourselves. I know you can hear me no matter how deep down inside you are, because I'm there with you...

We've come this far...we still have a bit more to go. If your heart is hurting, have some love in it tonight. I know you'll come back to us. I trust in you about that.
