"Struggle can find no foothold when confronted with gentleness,
because conflict can only exist when fed by two opposing forces."
Madisyn Taylor
We each have endless wisdom, but somehow it fades together forming a backdrop that supports our life, when it really should be an articulate actor jumping onto stage. When faced with a dilemma how nice to have a curtain call where immediate knowledge presents itself.
There is something exciting about reading an author's statement that grabs attention. We have all heard the same phrases, but every once and awhile, the words line up differently and give us a nudge towards new perspective.
Madisyn Taylor, author of the DAILY OM acknowledges that conflict can only exist with opposing forces and writes: "Struggle can find no foothold when confronted with gentleness." This idea of stepping back with gentleness elevates my thoughts to higher ground. To me, it was a new approach ... to be gentle while observing both sides ... rather than scrambling to justify!
