Observers have raised concerns about the psychological toll on young children who enter this shelter system. NPR’s Joel Rose talked to one former shelter employee who said he quit after he was instructed to prevent siblings from hugging each other. The organization that runs the shelter said it allows touching and hugging in certain circumstances.

What’s Behind the ‘Tender Age’ Shelters Opening for Young Migrants

X

Many are toddlers and babies and require special care, and their numbers have been rising since last month, when the government enforced a “zero tolerance” policy on people crossing the border. Estimates suggest that more than 2,400 children under the age of 12 are now in federal custody, including many who have been separated from their parents.

Please note:

The images in the video  below are very distressing and disturbing.

You may choose to read the comments.

X

I lived the story it documents

from 6 months to 3 years old

at Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children.

X

Hospital policy:

ONE parent 1x week and NO touching of your child,

who was in an institutional bed in lines in the nursery.

All designed for administrative ease.

X

We know better now.

Touch + comfort of/to/from a loved one is fundamental + imperative for living!

The repercussions and reverberations are real,

severe

and

inscribed in the heart and bone of a child forever.

The story does not lift away in time.

It can be re-constructed for meaning

and

re-contextualized

to serve

the freedom voyage / flight of others

to set out to sea to enter their ship

 and

fly boundlessly with their full wing span.

WOUNDED HEALERS.

Of course, I remember!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Man%27s_Search_for_Meaning

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wounded_healer

X

I had within me a fierce,

compassionate and courageous

divinity,

a radiant wilderness,

a  luminous chapel

that was stronger

than I was.

I was given this sacred fire.

It was mine to keep alive as it kept me alive.

I prevailed.

I became an artist – giving voice.

X

My Mother, Doris Eileen Cottor Johnson Omlie,

wrote a 12 page, a  hand-written memoir, in 1996

(two years before her sudden and unexpected death)

to “tell me the truth”.

And the writing, her writing, was a release for her.

She was a young woman of 26

when it all occurred to her

and

my Daddy’s, Richard Harold Johnson, life.

She was 66

when she wrote it in blue ink,

with her delicate song of Palmer’s handwriting script,

on her favorite stationary.

She wrote my Genesis story for me,

She did not rise until it was completed.

The air changed,

the light changed

– the harvest of knowing

and

being SEEN for WHO you are.

X

I am sharing this story of truth

to you,

the viewer of this entry,

in my WordPress of 2 July 2018.

Yes, I feel exposed.

X

Yet, I must tell you

for those who have NO voice and are defenseless:

the children of asylum seekers.

XX

We know the TRUTH,

that DT and his WH administration

with their ZERO tolerance immigration policy,

a “determent”  policy,

is proof that their empathy wires are cut from humanity

and

what they see are their own demons

rather than

vulnerable, innocent children

who are terrified,

frozen in fear, 

without a voice

and

 who yearn for comfort

of their NEST

and

the balm, the lullaby, the sing-song

of  pure and loving humane voices. 

Incompetence and cruelty go together with DT and his White House.

X

My finding of the video below

was a gift that I was ready for.  

There it was on the sidebar of YouTube.

I was viewing the videos of

“FAMILIES BELONG TOGETHER”

nationwide protests.

X

I took a deep breath, and clicked on the link.

I viewed what I had lived

– and what other children lived at that time.

Pre-verbal.

It was poignant that this video was silent.

I remember the wails,

the constant lament, the shrieks,

the gurgling sounds of giving up.

The playing with my hands to know I was here, to self-soothe, to hold on.

My body remembered all

–   the inchoate feelings.

X

Yes,

I worked with the grace and love

of expert trauma specialists

to slowly,

oh so slowly,

 oh oh so so so slowly

to lift the veils

– like the skins of a burn victim,

and

carefully remove

with sacred attention,

the defending vigilant stones of my fortressed walls

to release my stories

that were prohibited from being told.

X

I was fortunate to have certain loved ones

who told, who witnessed,

certain loved ones who I loved

and

I KNEW

loved me who could

SEE the ME within.  

FREEDOM.

 

X

Healing is done with lullabies – the balm and the touch of pure love.

INTIMATE.

SACRED Listening.

Call and Response.

Moving forward instilling

HOPE

to those who are devastated,

distressed

and

breathing

the same oxygen as us all

and

know the sound and touch

of authentic

love’s redeeming,

restorative energy and elixir.

I turn toward Nature’s grace, beauty + ephemera for restoration.

I turn toward Nature and bear witness and, in turn, I uphold wonder and awe.

X

I offer you

what Nature offered this evening,

after I had completed this entry,

while riding my bike:

X

X
X
X

X
X

 

X
X

 

My parents took me out of Shriners at 3 years old – doors closed shut.

My life was met by the creative medical genius of

Dr. Mark B. Coventry, Mayo Clinic.

My beloved Dr. Coventry.

 

A remarkable collaboration began between that called out GOLD.

https://catherineljohnson.wordpress.com/2012/07/13/13-july-look-to-this-day-for-it-is-life-the-very-life-of-life-dr-mark-b-coventry-promise-me-two-things-only-let-those-who-honor-and-respect-you-come-near-and-always-remain-an-art/

HE ASKED ME TO MAKE TWO PROMISES

 TO HIM BEFORE HE DIED:

“PROMISE ME TWO THINGS:

ONLY

LET THOSE WHO HONOR AND RESPECT

YOU COME NEAR

AND

ALWAYS

 REMAIN AN ARTIST.”

X
X

 

We are given opportunities

in the arc of our lifetime

to give and accept offerings of

awe + beauty + freedom.

X

The salutation of

I SEE YOU

is an irreplaceable intimate epiphany

of

knowing a beloved.

This intimate knowing

illuminates all within the beloved

welcoming

his/her incandescent and fragile truths

slowly,  

with sincere tenderness like a gospel song.

What was once kept captive

within

locked in darkness,

shut down and hidden from view

is

WITNESSED,

embraced with love’s elixir.

Now, irreversibly RELEASED and wings unfurled –

EXODUS.

An unfolding dialectical freedom lullaby

that IS a mutual call and response

– a sacred, fortuitous, blessed

improvisational song.

X
X
X

And, I / YOU / WE AIN’T GOING BACK…

Moving FORWARD, at last.

Oh, she may be weary
Young girls they do get weary
Wearing that same old shaggy dress, yeah yeah
But when she gets weary
Try, try a little tenderness, yeah 
X
You know she’s waiting
Just anticipating
For things that she’ll never, never, never, never possess, no no
But while she’s there waiting, without them
Try a little tenderness (that’s all you gotta do)
X
You know it’s not just sentimental, no, no, no
She has her grief and care, 
But the soft words, they are spoke so gentle, yeah
It makes it easier, easier, easier to bear, oh
X
You won’t regret it
Young girls they don’t forget it
Love is their whole happiness, yes
But it’s all so easy
All you gotta do is try a little tenderness, oh yeah
All you gotta do man oh oh is hold her where you want her
X
And squeeze her, don’t tease her, never leave her
Oh just try a little tenderness, oh oh

try it, try it, try it

You got to hold her, know how to love her,

Today, First lady Melania Trump wore a jacket with the words

“I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?”

on the back on Thursday as she boarded a plane on her way to visit immigrant children being held at the border. She arrived at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland wearing the green, hooded $39 jacket from Zara. She removed it before she arrived in McAllen, Texas, to tour a detention center. 

As my dear eloquent, articulate and step UP Canadian friend Janet and I have texted each other – as a LOOPED refrain – for the last few weeks in response to DT + his White House’s actions:

“THERE ARE NO WORDS” or “CANNOT FIND THE WORDS”

Truly, THERE ARE NO WORDS.
