Silence is the space between hearing and listening. To hold another through the silence we sometimes call love_ Is to lean into that space. Our first response, idea, or impulse, is rarely our best. Hear, hold and then listen. Love will be there.

Freedom 1. Is to not run away from the very thing that you want to ignore. 2. Is setting a boundary, and holding the discomfort of it, until it is no longer uncomfortable. 3. Accepting things just as they are, holding ourself to our highest values, despite circumstance.
