Our loved ones -
whether by blood, by marriage, or by choice -
are delicate treasures.

the freedom of our loved ones,
we gain our own freedom.
Have the courage to trust that
the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.

He answers, "then deeply examine your intentions."
