''Often our so-called strength comes from fear, not love; instead of having a strong back, many of us have a defended front shielding a weak spine. We walk around brittle and defensive, trying to conceal our lack of confidence. If we strengthen our back, and develop a spine that's flexible but sturdy, then we can risk having a front that's soft and open.
How can we give and accept care with strong-back, soft-front compassion, moving past fear into a place of genuine tenderness?''.
