Episode 87: Hold people like sand

Control isn't the basis of a loving, long-term relationship,
because control is ultimately disrespectful and unsustainable.
The key to a respectful and enduring relationship is to hold the
other like sand: not too loose, but definitely not too tight.
Like sand, the tighter you attempt to hold others, the more they
will slip through your fingers. Gentle support keeps more sand in
your hands for longer periods of time.
