Convergence

Trains and tracks

These train tracks remind me of the many people I have encountered in my life. Like parallel tracks, there are people who I may be aware of but whose paths I don’t cross.

There are others who gather around the same places and values I resonate with. So we fly together for a while:

Pigeon flock

We may share food, inspiration and common interests:

Cities of the world signpost

Sometimes, it’s easy and comfortable to share the same space

Birds at the feeder

At other times, conflicts arise

Fighting over food

and someone ends up leaving on a divergent path

Flying away

But when our ideas and energies come together, and when different aspects of personality and ways of being complement each other, we’ve hit a sweet spot of convergence

Sculpture, water, and plants

I dedicate this post to all the people whose convergent and divergent paths have enriched my own.
