Hopes for the blog:

enact kindness
create moments of pause for disclosure, discovery, stillness

Unconditional

intuitively, you took my hands
at a moment of emotional intensity
you held them
without reservation
or shame

many moons later
your willingness, kindness and authenticity
sustain me
& I live in the warmth of knowing
what it means
to have someone
who's got my back

  3. Beautifull romantic, makes me feel at home, makes me want to feel like that once more, because I use to, before. But I do not think you can look for those things, they just do happen or not.

  4. It's all very well having someone to get your back, but every now and then you need someone to get your front :D
