“Your Highness? Prince Renaud?” This was the moment of truth. A look of confusion came over the man as he lay in her small bed, staring up at the cottage’s knotty pine ceiling. “How are you feeling?” “The pain is gone—I have to leave, I must—” He raised himself on his elbow. “Relax. Lie still for a while.” She caressed his arm. He stilled, staring at his healer with icy blue eyes. “Who are you? Some sort of witch? Where am I?” *He has Théodore’s face now that he’s grown. The spitting image of that devil. But his black hair—all mine. And yes, I knew he would use that word if he saw my powers…* “My name is Mathilde, Your Highness, and you’re in my cottage.” She blinked her tearing eyes and hardened her tone, speaking like a stern governess. “I saved you, that’s all I can say. You cannot escape justice from your brother if they find you alive. You didn’t succeed because I saved him as well.” “Half-brother, if you want to be precise! I’m the bastard whom no one cares a thing about!” A pained look of defeat crossed Renaud’s face. “Let me go!” He made a jerking move to raise himself from the small bed. Mathilde panicked. She clapped her hand on his forehead. “Dormez… go to sleep.” He slumped to a reclined position, his arm flopping to the side. His eyes glazed over and closed as he passed into a comatose slumber.”

“Your history's not going to go away; it isn't the same thing as dirt on the floor or paint peeling off the walls; it's not going to be solved in that way. It's more like learning how to carry it, to contact it, to see it. Because it's based on the psychology of the normal, the therapist is part of that too. And so they too are working with those very same processes. And so it requires a therapist just to see the value of it and to be willing to look at their own difficult emotions and thoughts and find a way to carry them gently in the service of the clients that they're serving.”

“Your home is whatever in this world you love more than you love yourself. So that might be creativity, family, invention, adventure, faith, service, it might be raising corgies, I don't know - Your home is that thing to which you can dedicate your energies with such singular devotion that the ultimate results become inconsequential.”
