Book Review_ Invisible Lines Boundaries and Belts that Define the World by Maxim Samson

Comforting Thought: Vibrant Relationships

Before Time Began: Latin Quotes on Ancient Sundials

“Vibrant relationships
feel like a sanctuary
where you are safe
to bring your vulnerability
and you are given ample love and care
a home
that equally supports
rest and growth
free from judgment
as you both seek to evolve
a union
void of control
but filled with
mutual understanding”
