Necessary Osmosis

My gesture of care is an ever-dynamic balance between reaching outward and attending inward, conserving and expending.
Only recently have I understood the need to be grounded in my body in order to sustain caregiving for others. Setting boundaries can feel rigid and unkind. So far I’ve settled on attending the natural rhythms and needs (outside and within), as they arise, knowing that each gesture will change the circumstances that call for another.
