Bridge the Gap

Often I have thought that the furthest distance between 2 people can be measured in space and time. It is a gross miscalculation to think that two people touching hands are closer than two people on opposite sides of the world. I have been miles apart from someone and closer to them than a person in the next room. The discovery of this distance is usually abrupt and not without consequence. So what, then, are we to do about this?

An object in motion tends to stay in motion. If you are moving further away from someone you must exert a strong amount force to change this path. This may sound scientific to some, but I assure you it is accurate. The first step to closing the gap begins with you. Recognize your location and redirect your priorities. There is one simple unavoidable thing you must do. You must put yourself in harms way. Course corrections are like little red pills, they are changes in your life that open your mind and make the heart vulnerable.

It has been a curse of mine for may years to keep distance from people. It is self destructive to think " I do not need anyone". You can justify as much as you like, but one day you will long for the comfort of a soul you have sent galaxies away. I know I have done this, and still do this at times. Have purple pills handy when you try to correct your course. You will need them. You will hand them out often.

I do not have all the answers for overcoming great distance. I welcome comments and suggestions. What I do know is that if you find yourself on a plateau alone, you only need to take one step to begin closing the gap. "I'm sorry, I'd like us to be close again" is a good start. You can only put your hand out. The choice to receive your offer is up to the other party. Be prepared for rejection, not everyone sees the value of 2 red pills.
