He will paralyze his legs and overtax his heart.” IMO Tenderness is 'God Within'. To honour it is to Honour God=ness in every other person.

Tenderness can often lead to hurt & pain but it’s one of the keys to being a compassionate partner in this world.

At the front of everything, I believe that we have to be kind to ourselves. We can be our worst enemy . At times we would never treat others the way how we treat ourselves.

Be it self-talk or gentle self-questioning, the net result is that it gets me to pause and focus on where my head and heart are within that moment, which in turn helps to map my way forward in both actions and speech. 12 Reply devy3 months agodevyAbsolutely.. your post after i wrote mine.😊 4 Reply Michele3 months agoMicheleI can honor the tenderness within me by staying true to myself, my values, being kind and empathetic.
