i think tenderness is maybe the most important thing in the world
i am tenderized and tenderfooted and tenderhearted!! i hope you are all being, and doing well at it!!! i hope you’re eating and breathing and thinking and sleeping. i hope you can find rest when you need it, and warmth when you deserve it (which is always) i hope you can always find a soft thing to press your skin to for no reason but simple pleasure. i am thinking just-picked rose petals, dandelion wishes, pussywillow pod-thoughts all in your direction. i am sending you merino wool, and well-loved sweatshirts, and the velvety fine fur of a white-faced old dog. i am sending you the first breath of sharp air on a snow day, for whenever you need its chill. i am sending you the feeling in my heart, spilling up into your chest & out of your smiles, for whenever you need its dizzy warmth. mostly i am just sending you thanks, for being you, and for reading these words, and for trying. everything is very hard sometimes, most times, so i am sending you absolutely everything soft and tender to press around its edges like little soap-bubble circles of bubblewrap, and it’s okay if they pop. we can always find more
