"Led by innocence"
Mary and their little lamb represent the purest form of companionship — the bond between innocence and gentleness that requires no persuasion, no reward, and no authority. The lamb follows naturally because trust, once genuinely established, creates its own gravity.
Left unexamined, gentle loyalty weaponised against the self or others — where what should heal instead wounds through excess.
Keep some simple, trusting part of yourself alive, however complicated life gets.
The emotional friction that governs intimacy — learning to manage vulnerability and the drawing of emotional boundaries. This tension is not a problem to solve but a force that deepens all genuine connection.
