Yesterday I had a conversation with someone I respect in our community where ultimately we agreed AND disagreed.
We share some common values and yet have a different approach to community building.
What I noticed was that I felt nervous and jumpy before our conversation. My body was ready for fight and flight. After some mutual pleasantries, we got to the point--but what was the point?
As it turned out, I misinterpreted something she said on social media.
Ok, relief that we did not let Facebook mediate our conversation and ultimately relationship.
But nonetheless when we got to the real point, we did not agree.
I'm stirred up as I consider her point of view and her pain.
I don't know how she feels today.
But I know she planted a seed in me.
I'm searching for how and where my integrity directs me to act now.
