Emotional Support Ballerina…

This happened while I was supposed to be journaling. I was thinking about a friend of mine who is has a long-term illness. He never complains or shares, but every now and then I can see those feelings that he will not express. Have I made a friendship a safe enough space? Is there I way that Is there a better to invite him to converse that is not intrusive? Do I accept that he doesn’t with to share and pretend I can’t see that he is troubled? Is there someone else that I can guide him toward with whom he might feel more comfortable? These was the cloud of thought fogging my brain when I created this puppet. I decided that Melina is an emotional conduit who dances out the feelings of others and thereby eases repressed pain and turmoil. Ah, to have her gifts!
