Modern life is not designed for intimacy. It’s designed for speed, productivity, and constant motion—and somewhere in that blur, we’re expected to remember how to slow down and truly be with one another. In this piece, Frank Gray explores why adult nursing doesn’t survive by accident in a culture that runs on urgency, and how gentle ritual, bodily rhythm, and intentional design can transform nursing from something postponed into something protected. This is an invitation to build intimacy that endures—not through pressure or perfection, but through presence.
