Great article, Kevin. I’m doing some personal development at college in my counselling course and one of the things I need to think and write about is my own relationships. This is a really useful place to start from 👍
Great message. I think this aligns to the broader idea of poetic vs technical atunement steve March talks about originally cited by Heidegger. A great way of describing this dynamic across all of life
Wow,that is such a beautiful article. Thank you so much! :) I recently visited a friend and felt so connected to him and then I realized I am so busy with my own stuff that I failed to listen,to care, to simply see him. And afterwards there was more distance than before. At that point, as I cared so deeply about him, I realized, something needs to change, I want to change. For the sake of him. For the sake of any current and future connection. To open up more, to be more gentle, more caring, more present, more listening in.
Sometimes it not easy to discern which friends are which across these groups. I have found that big changes (moving internationally and going sober, in my case) have shone the light of truth on previously hidden catergorization.
I never thought I would say this. But, I think, the thing I most want to be, is useless.
Same!

Thanks Rich! Glad this sparked some ideas and reflection for you.

Thanks Scott! I’m not familiar with the technical cs poetic, but I just added that to my “look this up” list.
Fantastic, brother.

Fascinating stuff, Kevin!

Started reading and ended with a smile that made me think.
