Relationships-of all kinds-are like sand
held in your hand.held loosely, with an
open hand, the sand remains where it is.
the minute you close you hand and
squeeze tightly to hold on, the sand trickles
through you fingers. you may hold on to
some of it, but most will be spilled. a relationship
is like that. held loosely, with
respect and freedom for the other person, it
is likely to remain intact. but hold too
tightly,too possessively, and the relationship
slips away and is lost
