Tender

Posted on by curioussteph

Tender is the night

Or so its said

As is the skin of a newborn child

Untoughened by the world and experiences

Of pain of wanting and simply

Exposure to the elements.

Tenderness and durability

Both important

Timing and application

Essential for growth and health.

June 2017: I started writing Curioussteph.com with this: By day, I'm a retired family physician turned body-oriented psychotherapist. I garden, travel, am owned by 2 elderly cats, figure skate and am training for my first triathlon. April 2020: Three years later, the two elderly cats have crossed the rainbow bridge, and we now have an 11 year old adoptee, Ziggy. I'm done with triathlon and skating for the time being, and I am still physically active, running, biking and walking. It's now the time of the coronavirus, which is affecting us all.
