It's hard sometimes to relax into softness. Harsh words and attitudes have been a constant in my life.
I've been the recipient and the perpetrator of harshness. I know that I have a hard edge.
Many don't see that edge, and it's not as hard as it used to be, but I know it's there. I have to practice being gentle.
I have to soften into kindness. It sometimes takes a lot of effort and concentration.
I admire women who appear soft. I hang out with them to try to learn from them.
