“There is nothing stronger than a soft soul.” -JH Hard
My dear Lionhearts, this is true.
There may be no greater strength shown than staying soft despite the trauma.
Health isn’t about being steeled against the pain.
It’s about resilience. It’s about the courage of caring deeply, loving wholeheartedly.
It’s about learning we can bend and we can bounce – that no matter the depth of hurt and grief, we will not break.
For hardness, coldness, numbness only seems to keep us safe, for it robs us of the good as much as it shields us from the bad.
There is so much beauty in a branch that blooms again after the winter storms. There is no such loveliness or life in a steel beam.
Can you see the strength in your softness? Or does hardness feel like a necessary refuge? I would love to hear your thoughts!!
