The Sleeping Self
Fairytales: Sleeping Beauty · Rapunzel
You learned early how to protect yourself by staying still.
There’s a gentleness here—a deep sensitivity to timing, to energy, to when it feels safe to move. Waiting wasn’t passive; it was perceptive. It kept you from harm when action felt risky.
