I don’t have any answers. I’m only becoming more comfortable living in the questions that arise in my daily encounters. As you know, I have to deal with clients and their “loved” ones on a daily basis. And as I said before, I am totally intrigued with the interactions and relational quality of people. A very common one lately is the apparent disconnect of comfort life. I have had an influx of well to do clients lately and noticed the commonality of total disconnect in their interactions. I’m not implying wealth makes you more emotionally inept, but there’s different nuances detectable. It’s the sense of not being able to relate to the person one is supposed to be close(est) to, that I seem to encounter more of lately. Here you are with your other half and yet you can’t seem to cross that void between the two of you that you accumulated right along with the wealth and comfortable lifestyle you chose to work so hard for. Spending your life away from the one you promised to spend the rest of your life with. Instead of openly engaging with the person in your life that you share so many material things with, you shut yourself and each other off from the nourishment you need to live this life. You have become successful in your survival techniques of aquiring needless items that were never meant to take the place of living in the reality of your humanity. There seems to be a total sense of loss, being in no man’s land, when I encounter that kind of relational un-quality. The space between the two is so far apart that it creates an echo any time someone enters their disconnected connection.
