The Bear

Your brick story

THE BEAR

Feeling sad? Feeling alone?
Think you can't open your mouth without crying?
For these things, I have the bear.
When I feel I am beating up on myself,
And forgetting I am o.k.
And blaming myself for not doing more than I could -
For this I have the bear.
And when I feel cold, miserable, down deep in my bones,
Where no one can reach me,
I have the bear.
Whenever I have to remind myself
To be kind to myself and give myself a little care,
I have the bear.

Mebenji.

    Hi Mebenji
    I just read your post on one of my bricks, all I can say is thank you, feeling so very alone and struggling to be kind to myself, this brick and your words struck a few cords. I find your bear somewhat reassuring, maybe because I feel slightly less alone and can see you have some sense of where I am. I wish you well.

    I think it would be great if we could share this bear on Big White Wall - think we all need the bear from time to time!

    Whatever, I suppose, I would like to introduce a new non-gendered pronun: "zhe", perhaps. "zhrm" "zhrm's". instead of those which indicate one gender pr the other. I should say, "Zhe is a bear of infinate cuddles." Do you think It could catch on?

    Zhe is The Bear of Infinite Cuddles! Appropriately named I think.
