Personal Guidance
Boundary mountains and rivers mark the divisions of the land — limits keep things distinct and clear. Spiritual life also needs healthy boundaries. Don't be ashamed of your limits; they let each duty and relationship be properly performed.
Reflection Questions
  • Where in my life have I let boundaries blur into confusion of roles?
  • What healthy boundary would actually serve devotion if I dared to draw it?
