I went to the house of my friend’s today

She is  reliable and funny and alive and accepting and wise.

And I know how fortunate I am to have her as my friend.

She is thrilled when I tell her of my encounter with my shadow.

( The shadow is a  negative personal quality long hidden and disruptive to relationships)

She says she wishes this for herself

I laugh, free again through her.

There is no place for shame,

Not with her admiration shining down on me.
