Thank you, Annemarie, for writing these wise words about young people. Necessary food for teenagers, parents and educators. I just read another story about space holding. And that fits perfectly. How do we hold space for these people to feel safe in and still explore their own being? It will require some mindful educators and parents...

One little practical tip for your stories: take care with the pictures. Be careful to only use the ones that have creative commons license. And give credit to the maker. If the picture is your own, say: picture by author so the readers knows you have taken care.

There are many free picture sites such as Pixabay, Pexels and the one beneath the looking glass Unsplash. And I also find them by Googling, pictures and then choosing tools: click on creative commons (or free to use or something) and you'll also find the ones on commons.wikimedia etc.

Keep on writing, Annemarie, I love the combination of nature and your imagination!
