Like waves that crash against the shore – continuously, yet naturally. Like a hammer tapping on glass – fragile and dangerous. Like a mirror that shows me what I still can't handle. Like a comedy where I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Like a test of infinite patience that cannot be passed without a fall.

When you think of "patience," what image comes to mind first?

When a child is angry, how do you imagine your ideal reaction?

Select an answer:

I remain present, breathing with him as if we were one. I will step aside, let him cool off – I am not his target. I will speak to his soul – so that he feels I understand him.
