This was tender, I enjoyed this Psalm.

I wonder, when you say “tell the truth without wounding,” do you risk softening the edge that truth sometimes must carry? That's the challenge isn't it? a heart rooted in compassion can hold softness and still wield fire. Tenderness without clarity becomes indulgence; clarity without tenderness becomes cruelty. The Way is to let truth cut but only to free, never to wound for sport.

Amen. Funny how that perception was actually backwards. We were running the wrong way.
