My takeaway from this is our ultimate responsibility to grow trust and tenderness with those we cross paths with on this earth. And that the special sacredness we feel with our specific friends is not so much due to our interacting with them well, but rather, to the fact these are the very ones we happened to meet on our journey at all. Thanks, Keturah!
Haha, I think I mostly agree with you on "boundaries," which are supposed to be about self-control. It's funny, though, the only times I can recall others bringing up that word in conversation with me, they treated it as a tool to shame and control me, instead!

Thx for writing this. It has reinforced some ideas I’ve been thinking about lately.
