Holding Without Gripping
When love starts to feel like pressure, the body often notices before the mind does. A clenched hand softening into an open palm becomes a way of sensing the difference between care and control. Closeness remains possible without squeezing, present enough to stay, loose enough to let another person be free.
Warm and unhurried, with a low steady ease, the slow exhale at the end of a long day.
