A very big feeling



My little Maxi is an articulate soul who will do anything to get out of going to sleep. Some of our fondest moments have resulted from his nightly excuses. Sleep has made his heart soggy and on other occasions he hasn't been able to sleep in all his energy.

The other night he told me that there was a "very big feeling in my heart".

"What's it feel like?" I asked.

"It's feels big," he said. "But... it's like a gap is there."

"So it's an empty sort of feeling?"

"Yes, it's like all the feelings have been sucked away."

"So what's bothering you right at this minute?" I asked.
"Sometimes feelings just want to suck you right off the planet with them, Mum," came the reply.

My Very Big Feelings are always remorse, envy and fear.
