“Might the safest space be this:

Safe from having to wear your armor.
Safe from having to laugh off your pain.
Safe to laugh at your pain, at yourself.
Safe to know your truth...
Safe to feel...
Safe to disagree...
Not safe from struggling with the conundrums of life Safe to struggle with them...
To sit in the dis-comfort of no-extremes...
Safe to spin through all the chaos...
And feel the shoulder of another traveler...
And know you are not alone.

You are not alone.”
