Gradual Union

A gradual evolution towards uniting provides strong roots and nurtures its environment. But if the relationship you are trying to grow (of whatever type) is trying to survive without enough support and sustenance, it will wither.

Perhaps, after all, we need to consider the possibility that relating may be different from what we envisaged. Sometimes we are challenged to conceive of a relationship that is not transactional but serves a higher purpose.

Looking at things from this perspective can help us avoid getting drawn into poorly judged relationships we would be better off without.

What intuitive spark accompanies the movement towards union? If the answer is “none”, we do well to think again.
