Elves respond to the requests of others.

When they have the space to do so—once they have properly taken care of themselves.

(Hmm… perhaps they once had the chance to fly on a plane and heard that you must put on your own oxygen mask first, before helping others…)

It is important.
Helping others.
Being human, “that we may lead a quiet and peaceful life in all piety and dignity.”

Yet helping others is possible only when we take care of ourselves.
When we get enough sleep, eat a good breakfast, look after our health…
When we are well cared for ourselves, we possess the strength to give of ourselves to others.

To be there for someone…
To love…
And, at the same time, to allow ourselves to be loved…

You know how it is.
You cannot give something you do not have.

By the way. My name is L.
