Thanks for writing it....Hello, loved this article. Thanks for writing it. I have found it while reading about Maid Maleen in Iron John's book. He was writing something about developing the inner warrior, the capacity to chose. I found it interesting that as you said, the journey out of the tower of trauma, starts when we stop waiting and use the cutlery to break the wall. Of course it is not enough: I love the fact that she did not consider herself the true bride until also the prince started doubting or questioning her. Made me think about the importance of the other that does not only witness what happened but even before that, he/she must doubt that not everything is lost in trauma, that something is to be rescued and retrieved, that we can all be again the true brides. Other must do this for us, remind us that we are the true brides and doubt is a way forward. Along with love, of course.kalosagatosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751454862372805023noreply@blogger.com
