about relationships - most often, to my mind, our various relationships are blurred. Whether it is the vegetable shop, or the friendly neighborhood shop, or the bakery, or the laundry, or the beauty parlor, or wherever, one forms connections, or relationships, with the people who run these. They know what you cook; what your shopping list looks like, or should look like, and often remind you that you need this or that; how you want your clothes done; your usual requests in the beauty parlor and who you would particularly like to groom you...but what about them? I wonder if we even know they exist and have lives of their own...
Consider those who work for us and with us - how clear are the boundaries of their lives to us?
It is the same with our other relationships - friends, close family and extended family... do we have blinkers on?...or do we have selective vision?
One thing I've learnt just now is how clearly death throws life and relationships into relief...
