So many dysfunctional relationships in this society of ours.

You know how holding a tiny bird in ones hands feels? A touch so light, so light. One opens ones hands, letting the bird see the sky and the fields beyond your hands. At this point the bird may fly. Or it may stay.

In applying this.. feeling.. to another person.. If they stay with you after your hands have opened to give them freedom - then you have something real in your hands.

One should never ever cling. Never ever squeeze.

You may kill them.

Or that which you loved in them.

Respect the life you hold in your hands.
