Warm Honey

"When someone loves you,

the way they talk about you is different.

You feel safe and comfortable."

Jess C. Scott, THE INTERN

Emotional safety is one of life's most generous gifts.  Although it is similar to physical security, emotional safety is significant on its own.  Physical safety protects our bodies and our homes, while emotional safety protects our inner thoughts, feelings, and desires.

Whether we are with a lover or sister of the heart, we feel loved.  This encourages us to be fully seen, knowing our weakness or shortcomings will not be used against us.  We can speak without minimizing, we can touch without restraint, and we can deeply feel the goodness of being alive.

When we are loved, we are treated with respect and provided with emotional support.  The  sense of freedom expands, not contracts during relationship.  Love is a foundation to inspire, explore, and to blend together without becoming stifled.  Love is like warm honey poured thickly over words, actions, and deeds.
