Letting this one sink in this morning. So simple, and yet… But so essential and what we want most for ourselves, right?

The beginning of love is to let those we love be
perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image.
Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them.
” — Thomas Merton
