Another of spring's gentle things is the cherry trees at the office complex. The blossoms are delicate, and fragile, but can stay in place through some surprisingly strong winds.

A few years ago one of our clients came in one afternoon with fallen blossoms in her hands. She said she wanted to see them up close, and feel them, and figured it was all right since they had already fallen from the tree.

I thought at the time it was a bit odd, but I've thought a little more and have realized what she really wanted was to touch the gentleness.

I'm glad she had the courage to reach for it. Sometimes reaching for gentleness is an incredibly hard thing to do. The rewards are worth the effort.
