Gentleness

Gentleness is a quality that I have found myself particularly drawn to this week. As I have surrendered to my back pain, I have noticed a gentleness towards myself that has been absent on past occasions around pain.

“I feel a new hope arise within me, along with a newfound respect, honouring the quality and strength of gentleness”

Rachel Podger

Along with this, I have begun to appreciate my body and all it has carried for me and almost certainly carried for past generations along the family line. I hold them in my heart with a gentleness that allows me to appreciate all they carried with them. Rather than feel the eternal sadness of their loss, I feel a new hope arise within me, along with a newfound respect, honouring the quality and strength of gentleness.
