I am decorating a room for you.

In it you are trusted.

You feel safe.

You are loved and you are respected.

Decisions are made based on your needs, not others.

When in this room you matter most and we are silent when you speak.

The lights are dim if you like and the furnishings soft and comfortable.

You can relax, soften and feel at ease.

You feel safe because you are safe.

In my mind I paint this picture for you. This place where you can transform. Where you can birth. Where all the sisters and mothers that travelled before you wait with smiles and encouragement.

I decorate this room for you as you decorate your nursery and perhaps if I imagine hard enough and I paint this picture well enough it will become true.
