the good teachers I know say they always start hard,

firm boundaries a-plenty.

lighten up later.

Boundaries are so important in life and recovery!

My goodness, this is so poignant, powerful and resonates so crisply with me! I sometimes feel stuck in Day one, or that I somehow started on Day 10 and not sure how to get back to tne beginning. In this season of transitions, coming and goings, beginnings and enddings, the boundary setting seems even more important and often more elusive.

I have never been quite sure what to make of the heaven and hell paradigm, especially the whole notion of hell. But if heaven exists, I know there are poems in abundance and that yours are right there to greet us and welcome us in, and remind us that even the most beautiful features and aspects of lving are complicated!

Saw this about 30 seconds after I had a boundary issue this morning . Had to smile at the majestic timing of it. Thanks so much
