Is being vulnerable something we should avoid at all costs? There is a welcoming quality in vulnerability. Who wants to be hugged by, or hug, a suit of armor? This quilt on my sofa invites someone to sit on it. Not like metal, square edges, hard corners, which might represent a ‘cool’ place. Softness represents invitation and warmth. Soft, vulnerable people can easily get injured, but also create a safe space, a welcoming space, for someone to relax and rest, and be who they are.
