Words

communication is sometimes just the work of putting things into words. and it is so much more than words. a look, a tone. the unsaid. the feeling.
i sat with my practicum group the other week, and i felt naked. exposed. seen. and i was so scared. oh shit i was scared.
and the most beautiful thing happened, they stayed with me. They saw me. they didn't turn away. they didn't tell me i was too much. they told me i was beautiful.
in my nakedness, i was beautiful.
what an amazing gift.
