I have often thought of homes, schools, churches, youth groups as "safe places." All of these can fail at that task, but when they're working well they are exactly that. Home in particular needs to be a child's number one "safe place" (heck, that's true for adults too): the place where we drop the armor, rest, play freely, learn deeply and know that love is unconditional (even when it’s corrective or challenging). I like the image of the blank/quilt that grows and changes as the child grows, and I like the care with which you describe it. Derrick, this is great!
