Tenderness is the repose of passion
Joseph Joubert
Hold lightly that which you love
Give it room to grow
To put down roots
To seek the light
To find its way to the heavens
Your thoughts
Your dreams
Your very being
By all means hold them
But hold them tenderly
Remembering also not to crush the dreams of others
and you and they will grow together
and that is poetiquejustis
Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.
Ephesians 4:32
