I once had lunch with the Queen.

I decided to tell her about
5 Words to Describe my life.

It is a developmental question because you have to undress the soul to see who you are at that moment.


I told her about mine and a young human I was working with.
His 5.

About how he had been dumped on a social services counter as a baby and his Mother leaving the country.
His childhood in Children's Homes and eventual prison.
How he came to live as a young man in our hostel.

I told her this.

And how one of his words was HOME,
describing our Hostel as a place he could always come to and feel safe -
HOME!

She didn't tell me her 5.

Maybe you won't?
Maybe you will and I will paste them in here.
(Or at least do 5 for your own private secret summary of your life right now?)

This is me
and a few other beautiful humans
who tell me who they are::


Pip::
reflective
priorities
passionate
privileged
vulnerable

Peter::
Joyful
Electric
Anticipating

Resurrected

Katie::
