I’ve often reflected this year on 3 questions from Laurence Endersen’s book, Pebbles of Perception.
- Where would you love to live?
- Why that place?
- If you are not living there now, why not?
The true power of these questions emerge when we consider not just where we want to live, but rather what kind of home we want to live in.
Who do we share that home with? Why those people, and not others? Do we give them our undivided attention? Have we earned their trust? Is there comfort in silence? Is laughter easy to come by? Are there safe shoulders to cry on?
Where we live matters, but how we live in that space, and with whom, matters more.
