“I won't date a guy who doesn't own a toolbox.
I'm not saying you need to be able to knock down a wall or build a house or anything like that.

But I've been out with a couple of guys who didn't own toolboxes, and they couldn't even change a light bulb.”

Or at some fruit tree's mossy root,
Casting the body's vest aside,
My soul into the boughs does glide.

-Dr. Robert Anthony-

Tenderness contains an element of sadness. It is not the sadness of feeling sorry for yourself or feeling deprived, but it is a natural situation of fullness. You feel so full and rich, as if you were about to shed tears. Your eyes are full of tears, and the moment you blink, the tears will spill out of your eyes and roll down your cheeks. In order to be a good warrior, one has to feel this sad and tender heart. Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
