LOVING GUIDANCE FOR ALL YOUTH

The Soul has Bandaged Moments;

Emily Dickinson

When too appalled to stir –
She feels some ghastly Fright come up
And stop to look at her –

Salute her, with long fingers –
Caress her freezing hair –
Sip, Goblin, from the very lips
The Lover – hovered – o’er –
Unworthy, that a thought so mean
Accost a Theme – so – fair –

The soul has moments of escape –
When bursting all the doors –
She dances like a Bomb, abroad,
And swings opon the Hours,

As do the Bee – delirious borne –
Long Dungeoned from his Rose –
Touch Liberty – then know no more,
But Noon, and Paradise –

The Soul’s retaken moments –
When, Felon led along,
With shackles on the plumed feet,
And staples, in the song,

The Horror welcomes her, again,
These, are not brayed of Tongue –

Welcome to an environment of loving our youth in a manner which develops a relationship of respect so that they may come to trust us. A relationship in which they may be willing to tear themselves open and show us the tenderest parts of who they are. We guide with an open and loving heart as they bravely offer up their confusion, pain and worry and the scalding fear that we too will reject them once their truth is revealed. Helping youth to refuse to let their fears become fact. In loving we find ourselves face-to-face with a youth or teenager who finds in us, something so good and so compassionate and so loving, that they want us to know them completely.

In counseling youth, we understand we walk on incredibly unifying and holy ground, we are certain to tread upon it with reverence. Neighbors, friends, we we must stand united for the future of our youth and in doing so we must be the best version of ourselves. We need to win against an infectious anti-American ideology; this is not a distant, faceless simple “cancel culture war”, not merely a battle of differing ideologies, not a theological debate.... but this is about the future happiness, freedom and will to work with available opportunities and find a path to live the American dream in love and embracement. This is a time our youth may discover through experienced guidance based in love and faith with patience, compassion and empathy... a self-confident and able person in themselves in such a way that encourages and embraces the future ahead of them.

This war is far closer than you may know. It’s right in front of us. Our youth are assailed with age inappropriate radical social indoctrination. It is a time of confusion and insecurity for our youth. We can hold this one in our hands and hearts. It’s one fought as all wars truly are, with individual, beautiful, flawed human beings working in a balanced harmony. For abused, run-a-way and disowned Gay teens 15 and older, we offer an understanding heart and pragmatic approach. We say 15 years of age as this is the beginning of the ability to reason. It is the beginning of our youth attempting to secure a place of peace and the start of seeking where and how they fit into the world around us.

We introduce to our youth life coping skills; to aid in the formation of an effective foundation of positive reinforcement. We offer them positive living strategies in an environment of compassion with mentorship and self-confidence building.... we encourage our youth to hone abilities to discern healthy life choices. We will also offer guidance and counseling in inter- personal and social relations, primary relationships.

We offer an understanding and compassionate atmosphere for people of all ages with 33 years experience of loving counsel and advocacy for the HIV/AIDS affected.
