Asking With a Soft Heart

Asking for what we need.
Or for what we think we need.
Asking for quiet.
For deep conversation.
Asking for help.
For space to find our own inner helper.
For more.
For less.
For silly.
For real.
Asking because not asking would be betraying ourselves and the ones we share life with.
Asking with a soft heart, knowing that the yes or the no we receive matter much less than the gift of having asked.
