Cherishing Our Connections
"We all belong to the world in concentric circles of relationship some
more distant and others close, some with people different from us and
others with people more similar. Living within this web of connectedness
can bring us the greatest of joys and the deepest of challenges. The
preferences, patterns, and habits we have learned can both build
relational bridges and create great divides. Much of how we operate in
our relationships can be unconscious and beneath our awareness, and so
we go through life feeling perpetually at the effect of others, rather
than intentional and effectual."
