Receiving the Thing You Refused

16 min

Once, something was offered to you, and you said no before you knew you'd said it. A help, a comfort, a kind word, a hand at exactly the right minute — it arrived as the door swung shut. Your reasons at the time were good ones, the sort that still hold up well under questioning.

Tender and reassuring, steady when things aren't, present and calm without ever overpromising.
