teams

so we got together over a cup of water last nite
to brainstorm this new concept of 'approach is everything.'
(see a few blogs down...)
and it all fell apart.
well...not all.
we knew it was true.
but there was way more to it all too.
and as we sat there looking at each other feelin' totally
lost, my heart sank.
approach was a ton. and it mattered.
but there was so much more that i just couldn't figure out.
i had arrived feeling really hopeful.
i left feelin' kinda hopeless...

and then this morning.....

there he was on the other end of the phone.
focused like i rarely hear him on the phone.
a dream he had pushed him to think a bit harder about all
of this...
and he put some of the entanglements out there on the table.
here, look at this.
do you see this?
what do we do with this?
what about this over here?
and he laid it all out the best he could.
he was focused, articulate, clear and trying hard.

i tuned in.
joined in and helped him sift thru it.

we were a team for sure.
and that came up....that we hadn't been a team with this
stuff. that we had both been strugglin' on our own. fightin'
with each other's technique instead of teaming up.

and there we sat.
talking, thinking, trying....

i hung up knowing nothing had been solved. but my mood
was so much lighter.

the love that's there truly has created a team.
and when we work that way, i know we can get thru anything.

how does that team stuff slip away??
that's prolly the question to really pay attention to.
and i will.

right now, i'm gonna spend this really beautiful day grateful
he put it back up on the table for us to pick up again.
