Loved your story on the “distancing spiral.” Your messages always make me think. I appreciate the way you frame the story – it is so easy to let distance grow without knowing quite how it began. And as you say, we have the option, once we are aware of what is happening, to do something about it. A strong center is a good baromenter that something is out of joint, and our center will also help us remain balanced as we enter the chaos of confrontation. Thanks so much for your story and the opportunity to comment!
