A Simple Solution

     Laura and I have been arguing about things that have been argued about, possibly since the beginning of time and things have got a little tense. I continued, saying the things that people have always said, and she responded in a like manner.  Then I suggested that she should gather her life, and move out.  This, of course, ruined the rest of the day and soured things around the house.
     Today, while working on my new website, CrowMacCreek.com, which is slowly being developed, I stopped working to look at Laura making dinner in the kitchen. She stood with her back to me, and, all of the sudden I realized that she and I are alike.  She has skin, bones and organs working within her.  She has a mind and a heart that can be broken; just like me. What affects her life, affects mine and vice versa. In short, I realized that she is just like me, and in that visceral realization, I grew a little bit.
     Maybe if all of us were to look at each other and see that others are just like us, we could solve a whole lot of problems... together.
