Hi Alex: I like your topic and the angles with which you cover it. Growing up with amorphous boundaries to get along with prickly, challenged parents, your description of boundaries as having edges is sticking like velcro. I would like to add something to your comments about complexity. I see that simplicity is often a virtue to prize, reflective of deep integrity and a deeper layer of truth. However, in developing ourselves, the context of your piece, complexity can reflect a new level of functioning one is moving into, at the edge of one's comfort zone. Let's not make the mistake of making complexity a thing that shouldn't be desirable at all. If I may say so, I think we had a president recently like that. And I find it in the tone of social media pundits. - Thank you for your edifying piece.

Enjoying your articles, Alex. The simplicity piece, around not making things unnecessarily hard for yourself, particularly resonates in this one. Thank you!
