Don't confuse caring for weakness
But don't confuse caring for weakness
You can't put that label on me
The truth is my weapon of mass protection
And I believe truth sets you free
- from Willie Nelson's song,
'What Ever Happened To Peace On Earth'.
You can't put that label on me

RAPUNZEL #YouAreBeautiful - becoming
RAPUNZEL
The story of a young woman.
Young and beautiful.
Imprisoned in a tower with an old witch.
She was told by the old witch
that she was ugly - all the time.
One day Rapunzel
was gazing through the window
of the tower
and she saw her Prince Charming
at the base of the tower.
She lets down her long hair,
long and beautiful tresses.
It fell to the ground alongside the Prince
who braids it into a ladder and climbs up to rescue her.
She was imprisoned not by the tower
but by the fear of her own ugliness
which the witch had described so often.
Rapunzel sees the reflection of her face
in the mirroring eyes of her lover.
She sees that she is beautiful and
becomes free from her imagined uglyness.
She was not really imprisoned
but locked in the prison tower of herself.
She believed she was ugly
because she was told she was ugly.
We need to see in another’s eyes
our own beauty, special ness, uniqueness
and become free.
You are a beautiful human person

Reflection to a group - the day after the earth moved = Group Work.
This is a letter I have created ……..
......... to special people.
Dear name
Thanx for your giving to the group last night.
I am aware that it was a bit like having a real
vivid honest discussion on a moving staircase.
So I appreciate your efforts all the more.
There was fantastic sharing going on –
even amongst the walking in and out of other people.
The reason why I encourage this sort of sharing
is to touch real feelings and
when we do that we are more accepting of the reality –
the real depth of our feelings.
I believe that,
if we are honest with these feelings,
we can move on from that base of honesty
to a better life.
All of us have gone through stuff in our lives
which have left scars.
What I am aiming for is to help the group
to create a good vibe which then,
the group itself,
becomes a helping environment.
It only works if people are honest
and you were last night.
So ……
……… I write with appreciation
and an encouragement to press on.
We can be like an octopus
which squirts out a cloud to cover up
the fears and threats,
wanting to 'cloud out' from view
the real threats.
Last night you faced the real
and that makes us stronger
as individuals and
as a group …….
It seems to me.
