So we had a fight today.😄
Started off with one feeling mildly insecure and the other one being proud and blunt. And, as it happens, it then escalated to both feeling hurt.😥😥
Funny thing about emotional escalation🤔: it's exactly the opposite of what happens when we use a physical escalator - which is that we get higher and reach a broader perspective.🤩
When we emotionally escalate in anger, frustration, feeling offended and so on, however, it's only the temperature that is rising, while our vision is getting more and more narrow🧐, until the smallest, tiniest details seem to be outrageous🤯😡.
When we eventually noticed what was actually going on, we took a little break, each sat with ourselves for a while and let the distance do its magic: to broaden the perspective.🌈
And from out there, out of the picture, looking back through a broader frame, from behind the bushes, we saw what we always knew was there. We saw the truth we had lost touch with, in our escalator:
There we were on the bench, in the glowing moonlight, as loving and as kind as ever.👩❤️💋👨
So I made a promise to myself, a promise to us: I will remember this!
And whenerver I find myself hooked on "scandalous" little things, I'll silence my addiction to the details and let it scatter in the free winds of a higher, broader vision.💙
It's magical to be on the bench with you, love. But sometimes it's even miraculous to step out and look back at us... Look how beautiful our love is!💖
