Embrace the Lines
Always learn to say "No" or "Yes"
without fear or intimidation.
Sometimes spend some time alone
in a fishing creek or park. It is in such
places you are able to listen to your heart.
Choose arguments that you think or feel
you really need to participate in. Some
debates are none of our business.
Remind your child to be respectful
if he or she goes astray.
Keep family secrets within the family.
Let your lover know where you don't
want to be touched in your life,
for it's only you who can see your own
scars, from past struggles and battles...
Mark your own boundaries,
and let everyone know and see them. Help
them to understand and embrace them.
Embrace your own lines.
