I read about something called the Three Sisters, meaning corn,
beans and squash. When the Three Sisters are planted together, they provide
support to each other's growth.
Instead of competing and crowding each other out, they use their
diversity and their differences wisely so that all three can flourish.
What a lesson! We spend so much time focusing on our differences these
days. We humans could learn from the Three Sisters
and from nature, in general.
When we first seek to find common ground, we can then appreciate
our diversity and wisely address our differences.
So, be present. Reach out. Listen
respectfully. Engage in conversation. Learn. Grow.
Where might you benefit from finding common ground?
Today,
this week: Look for the similarities before the differences.
