My friend John tells a story about bricks.
While focused on parent/child relationships, I think it's applicable to any of our connections.
It seems as though we all enter into any relationship with a set of bricks and it's up to us to choose:
- We can build a wall between us with those bricks.
- We can build a pathway towards each other with those bricks.
Every action is the laying of another brick.
What are you building?
