Do you promise, Seldom? Because it *feels* safe but I don't really trust myself. Because I've been known to take something safe and stand it on its head.
I love the Gandolf image. I have these moments of entering fully into the feelings of whatever age is "out" - and asking direct questions. The one I've been asking over and over again is, "where were you?! Would you have told? And would you have made them stop? How? And what if they wanted to hurt you too?" He answers so directly and with such confidence - "I know, I wish I'd been there. Because no one was there. I would have told and I would have made them stop. And I would have kept you safe and myself too. And then we would have worked on all these feelings together." It is hard to take in.
