Assess whether you’re being fair to the more irrational beings who prowl your inner landscape. The voices that cry out in dreams, silence, or periods of loneliness are as hungry for love as anyone. Are you probing into what’s grieving them? Have you left them offerings on your altar? What are their favorite flowers? Don’t merely tolerate but woo the parts of yourself that feel the most tender. Romance the unknown. Write love poems to loneliness. Defang your inner critics with kindness.
