As you engage with care, distinguish your true desire from what you anticipate. Be aware of the delicate periphery where your personal focus meets the outside world. Acknowledge the boundary's existence gently, without needing to defend or enforce it. Let connection meet stability in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you connect separate ideas into a useful whole as you separate an intention from an expectation.

One small invitation
Perhaps you could ask them about the one plant they feel most protective over in their collection.
