Hi Lucie

Thanks for a very important reminder - to take it slow and let myself enjoy the new feelings of trust. Ill have to think about this for a bit.

I think that Ive been focused mostly on how vulnerable I feel, how shameful it is to have needs, and my fear of making her feel uncomfortable with it. When I step back and take another look though, it is true that it feels good too. I dont have the words for all of those feelings yet, but its something good.

Its funny that you commented on the capital Need. I had the urge to write NEED in some big, bold and demanding way that represented all that I felt, but restrained myself to just one little Capital letter. As you mentioned, growth and healing is very much a journey - recognizing Need, allowing it to exist, having someone to share it with, and finding the courage to get those words out of my mouth. Its all a bit overwhelming! (and good!)

thanks!
Turtle
