What would you ask for?

Musician and now Author, Amanda Palmer, came out with a book a few months ago, focusing on the topic of being able to ask, to ask for the thing that is really hard to ask another, whether it be for help, for respect, for a phone number, for a hug. Whatever it is,  for many of us, have difficulty in finding the courage and the freedom to ask. Asking is vulnerable...asking gives power to the one who is being asked, but as Amanda reminds us- there is power given to the asker-regardless of whether they receive the fulfillment of their request. That power-stems from being an authentic human being, not afraid of being vulnerable and in that way-the power is all theirs.

Finding that power in the midst of grief can be difficult, if not down right almost impossible. But only you know what you need this at time. Only you know if you need a hug, or space, or a nice meal, or someone to shield you from all the tuna casserole dishes and lasagna pans that may be coming through your doors. So if you could ask, whoever, whatever...what would you ask-what does your soul long for? What do you need to get back in touch with your own humanity?
