(she was resting in her shining, archival print available here!)
There is a part of us that is never touched by the ugliness we experience; the ugliness that we do to ourSELVES and others...that which is done to us. There is a part of ourSELVES that is never touched by our broken pieces, our pain and bitterness...our sorrow and regrets. There is that part of us that stays intact... that is both vulnerable and resilient. There is a part of ourSELVES that is always resting in a shining. 
(shining bright Tara)
Everyday now...I am seeking that part of mySELF more and more. She is there-as she always has been-waiting for me. We may push her to the very edges of ourSELVES, bury her so deep, forget all about her. But now...as I walk toward her...this is what I know; she is seeking us too.
