This little gem of a story resonated deeply with its focus on letting in the care and affection, allowing oneself to be held.
I was reminded how often relationships get reduced to a transactional give-and-take and miss their whole point, which is being that open, vulnerable and honest space. And just ‘there’, the comfortable home where worries can melt away as soap in bath water, where you can fall and be caught.
Sometimes the most intimately loving acts are the seemingly ordinary ones like running a bath.
A must read.
