Whether you live in a big city or small town, it’s easy to feel pretty isolated. A sense of self-protection keeps us from talking to one another, but when we take a chance, we discover how much we’re alike.

Making Space for Each Other
Making room for others’ differences, opinions, and eccentricities gives me pause. Can I observe the differences between us without feeling like I have to persuade you to my opinion or personal preference? Is it possible for me not to defend what I like or think or feel but simply make room in my observation for yours?
Sing, Sing a Song
I’m trying to read a book on my tablet, but I can’t quite concentrate on the words because a man five rows behind me is singing loudly, as if he is one of the Supremes backing up Diana Ross. I’m a little put off because I can’t concentrate on my book with this singing. Doesn’t he know the rules by heart like me?
