Letters To Gracie # 11

I have been having a dream
Over and over.
The dream is about a baby
That I have forgotten to feed
And it becomes lost to me.
In the dream I search frantically
But to no avail,
The baby cannot be found.
Have I been neglecting you?
Even in my asking
I know...I have.
What do you need from me?
Is it safety and trust?
Is it my attention and love?
We haven't played in a long time.
Maybe we need to play.
Is that how your spirit is nurtured?
To play requires a child-likeness
With which I am not familiar.
Can you teach me how to play?
