You can approach care through familiar activities with a completely altered lens. Boundaries are not walls, but clear definitions of mutual respect and care. Self-acceptance of the connection liberates it from external metrics of success. Let care meet perspective in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you connect separate ideas into a useful whole as you separate an intention from an expectation.

A question for you
What nascent idea demands your immediate and energetic attention right now?
You settle onto a comfortable chair together, each reading something different but within earshot of the other's soft turning of pages. There’s an impulse to ensure the other’s reading experience is perfect, like adjusting a cushion or getting a fresh glass of water.
One small invitation
