"The difficult thing is that vulnerability is the first thing I look for in you and the last thing I'm willing to show you. In you, it's courage and daring. In me, it's weakness." This quote hits hard and points out the contradictions in how we interact with others. Thank you for your words of wisdom.

Reminds me of way of the superior man. A fragile strength. That's what we human beings are.

Beautiful, Andrew. An ode to the dance of balance, the eternal cycle of breath, the retreat of inhalation and expression of the exhalation. ❤️

I DIDN’T REALLY EVEN THINK ABOUT BREATHING!

UGH!

I love the comparison, though. That’s legit perfect.

Hahhaa!! I love the capital letters!!

And I love your piece. It's a vital balance to learn how to strike.

As one who has tended to retreat too long into solitude at the loss of connection, I know all too well the pain of that imbalance. There are others with the opposite habit- too much socializing without tending the inner garden.
