learning how to wield the tool of sensitivity is NOT easy

sensitivity is a reality that many of us can't imagine living without. In ecology, sensitivity is highly valuable. In Earth systems, sensitivity is highly valuable. Probably in human communities of millennia past, sensitivity was highly valuable. I have to believe that at this moment in time, when we are encouraged to be mechanistic, it is simply being overlooked for the gift that it really is.

That’s the real reward of learning to be sensitive and emotional out in the open: finally learning to cultivate close relationships that are trusting, loving, and mutually supportive. Finally learning to be your whole self without apology. Finally learning to relax and enjoy the love you share without fear.
