How long does it take?
To walk in another persons walk to really understand yourself and the other person?
Hours, days, months, weeks, years and lifetimes.
Discernment with no judgment is wise.
How many steps does it take to put on a pair of shoes then tie your pair of shoe laces?
How many steps does it take to walk in your shoes as you walk in another persons shoes?
Time is the element. We can walk, run, skip, stay still, jump, hike.
All are steps from point ... A to point ... B
Wonder how many steps it takes to build a friendship, a partnership, a relationship?
Surely more steps than it takes to tie a pair of shoe laces.
My point is, to build a strong foundation within yourself comes first,
before you can build a foundation with another person.
Do take care of, your own self-care and loving who you are gifted to love.
Adoni.
