Dear Friend,

 

Looks like Pooh is a bit late for our band.

Been busy catching the bees,

all weekend.

Trying to slim down again,

but no no, I can't. 

 

@Sophia1 

Hello dear Tigger friend,

glad to have you back in the band.

Would definitely love a picnic every now and then.

Can we meet in the cave up the hill,

round the bend?

 

 

@Emelia8 .

Hello dear shy friend,

hiding behind a tree,

living deep in a bushland.

Could you be dear Piglet,

our missing shy friend?

 

Yours Pooh Bear,

Always

Thanks @Sophia1 @Lilaca @Oaktree 

and hi to 

@NatureLover @Shaz51 @Anastasia 

 

Maybe I am indeed piglet ... your shy missing friend ... hiding behind the tree.

Still in hiding.  Too scared to come out and play with her friends.

Feeling lost and alone ... and needing to be heard. 

But afraid of rejection and fearful of banishment.

Dearest @Emelia8 

I know that I can speak for everyone in acknowledging that we would all love to  welcome you as Piglet.

Standing back behind a tree watching is a sign of self awareness to me. Observing and listening a way of looking after your sensitive side at the same time learning a little more about your friends.

If you feel safe to do so come a little closer and observe and listen from a different perspective. You will find that each and every one of us has a need to be heard.

Making a move to join a merry, sometimes noisy, perhaps, band of friends can feel intimidating.

Observe and listen to each one separately.

I think you might notice and or hear signs of bravely reaching out to fit in from others.

Human beings do not naturally fit in with their own kind.

We sensitive ones find it easier to fit in with animals, birds, fish, (no not reptiles for me).

Think back to a time when you were so very very brave and went through with what you were scared of. I can think of many knowing you on these forums.

Move even closer when you feel safe enough to do so.

There is no urgency.

We know that you are there and all are comfortable with that fact.

We love having you in our family .......

Tigger has a lovely warm blanket. Thank you for the reminder (was it @NatureLover ?)

Tigger has a confused mind.

Tigger pushes himself very hard to join in and challenge his confusion.
