Feel the softness, the warmth. Let it wrap around this entire world full of hard and cold things. You carry so much. Won't you be carried by this? Receive love. Receive warmth. Receive safety, Someday, you'll be that for someone, for something. Perhaps that day is today, but in this moment, gently, I give you permission to give yourself nawniaesion. Love. warmth. and safety.
