When you invite a man into your space,
you are not just inviting his body.
You are inviting
his future,
his force,
his gravity.
Words will not tell you if he can hold you.
Only his obedience will.
Not obedience to orders.
Obedience to the frame you place around him.
The earlier you test, the cleaner you move.
The earlier you place him, the easier you breathe.
This is not cruelty.
This is not control.
This is stewardship.
