Virginia Satir wrote the following poem after a session with a young client who had a lot of questions about herself and what life meant.
We all have those questions.
But it’s easy to forget and think we’re alone. During a challenging time in my life I read this poem often. It made a profound difference for me.
It spoke straight to my heart, and soothed me.
In a world that could use more love and kindness, I share it with an invitation to be kind – to others and most especially yourself.
I am me.
In all the world, there is no one exactly like me.
There are persons who have some parts like me,
but no one adds up exactly like me.
