For some reason, human beings tend to get this backwards when it comes to their thoughts. Now, this all makes sense when we talk about a garden. Same thing with a fence, it still let’s air and water in for the garden to grow, but not deer and rabbits who will damage the garden. Your skin is a boundary- they keep you inside not you outside, they keep infectious bacteria out and let food and air in. Your cell walls are flexible boundaries, they let the good stuff in and keep the toxins out. Good boundaries are a little flexible or permeable. Boundaries are something you create and maintain for protection. Fences are boundaries, keeping the good in and the bad out. Have you ever noticed how sometimes a garden has a fence around it? Why does it have a fence? Well, it’s there to keep the bad stuff out and the good stuff in, right? This is what fences are for.
