"Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas."
~ Antoine de Saint Exupery ~
Boundaries are healthy for good living, but are not meant to fortress us in, or be solid brick walls. In dealing with human beings, they need to be more mutable than that, and revisited and renewed frequently. We change. Others change. Life softens us, or hardens us, depending, and forgiveness and love are ever evolving features of a conscious life.
I keep my boundaries up but allow them to be fluid and dynamic in order to accommodate the changing currents of energy and of life.
