What might happen if we played with slowing down to create some breathing room, some space to really *be with* people — both the people we are in ourselves, and the people we are in relationship with? What might it be like if we tuned in with the ways we assume our perspectives and biases on others — curiously noticing who other people actually are, not through the lens of how we are wired, but through the lens of being present enough with what’s happening inside for us and attuning with what’s happening inside for them, so that we can sort out the difference, creating space to really *be with* them.How might we play with finding and knowing ourselves and others so authentically that we cultivate a symphony rather than trying to force a synchrony that shames and silences when we aren’t the same? And if we can create this kind of reciprocally spacious attunement, how might it open us to support, celebrate, grieve, and connect in deeper and sweeter ways?—to *be with* in deeper and sweeter ways?
