Humanity, righteousness, propriety, wisdom, and trustworthiness are not infused into us from outside. We originally had them. We simply lose them if we do not think about them.

Your Year of the Open Hand. The version of care you step into this year is roomier than the one you've been practicing, and the difference becomes vivid to you around midsummer, when you notice how much easier a relationship feels after you let it find its own shape. That ease is the discovery. A repair you make in the early part of the year, some small acknowledgment offered without self-punishment, lands better than you expect and opens something that had been quietly waiting. By autumn, a project or partnership you've been holding too carefully begins to breathe when you trust it to. The strength was always there. What this year gives you is the grace to hold it differently, and the people you love will feel that change before you name it.
