We need to give each other the space to grow, to be ourselves, to exercise our diversity. We need to give each other space so that we may both give and receive such beautiful things as ideas, openness, dignity, joy, healing, and inclusion.!

Good morning Paul. Not sure we, as a society, are now at the point where we grant too much space. Enjoy your day.

Hello Paul - I don't immediately recall this quote or its author but the words are food for thought.   And for me, they can be something I can put into action on a regular basis.

I respect that train of thought Michael Jacobs

I agree with Wayne and Dorie. There doesn't seem to be a willingness to give others space to be their own person. In general there's a lot of judging and demanding going on (be the way I am and believe what I believe or else).

Good morning, Paul. This concept of "space" in life is rarely spoken about. Loved the quote and love your photo.

What a fabulous quote. One of the things I loved about when I walked The Camino de Santiago de Compostela was that people listened to each other and I mean really listened, not just to reply or interrupt. they sought to understand the other person and their point of view, it was very refreshing and this quote really captures that.

Hi Paul- there needs to be someplace we can meet in the middle.  We can't expect others to be who we think they should be or who we want them to be.

Beautiful and meaningful quote by Max de Pree.  Not familiar with him, but will Google and get more information.  Sad we can not seem to do this in our lives.

Such a fabulous quote Paul S. Henderson, REALTOR®, CRS but unfortunately not open to much discussion these days.  Oh where, oh where did those days go?  (sad face)
