Out beyond ideas of wrongdoing and rightdoing, there is a field. I’ll meet you there. Rumi, Persian poet
We’re all experiencing “the great divide.” Worldwide, political organizations, and the people who follow them, are taking hardline stances. A friend of mine recently said how she is making an effort to have a better understanding of people with political views different from hers. What a great role model!
It sounds like my friend wants to meet “in the field”—that wide-open space where compromise and understanding can take place.
Affirmation: I will make an effort to meet others in the field.
Coaching questions: What does the “field” look like from your vantage point? Is it a place to meet where understanding can happen?

I’ve always loved this piece by Rumi (and so much of what he writes). Like your application to the divisiveness all around us. I’ll meet you there!!
