Every once in a while, the tenderness of certain wounds becomes a part of my awareness.
Where you saw me being offended, was me being careful with my tender parts.
It has become my coping strategy to very clearly define my boundaries around my tender bits. Otherwise, how could you know?
Your part (remember the tennis analogy?) was to put the ball in play, a shot I found difficult to reach because of my tender parts. The net represents the distinction between your realm and mine. What happened on my side of the net was not your doing.
What we have done is learn something about one another.
If we continue that "tennis game" of life together, it is how we manage the knowledge of one another that makes the difference. Not what happened, but what happens.
Hugs,
Lar
