Kindness is not pretending there is no issue.

Yesterday, Pete and I had to talk about something small on the surface, but not small underneath. He wanted to donate something from the house. I understood the generosity, but I also realised I did not want our home quietly dismantled while we are still living in it.

So the kindness was not silence. It was not accusation either.

It was simply telling the truth without attacking his motives.

Our home is still alive. It holds us. It does not need to be deconstructed before its time.

And Pete heard me.

That is the part I keep noticing. When I do not come armed with blame, there is room for love to answer.

Kindness is not weakness. It is clarity without violence.
