Ahhhhhhh the shape.
What makes it the way it is how the lines join up. They might join in a pointed manner. There might be a flow throughout as though there is a single line. Either way the shape is given its definition by the lines that keep in touch.
Life is a lot about which lines keep in touch. Growth and change can necessitate different connections and sometimes our connection in one phase of life can lead to other lines and different shapes emerging. Some shapes for more intimate settings and some shapes for more expansive space for expression.
The effectiveness is all down to how well things are kept in shape is the strength of those connections. Familiarity, complacency, neglect and prioritising trivial matters can loosen those links and let things go out of shape. This is why it’s good to appreciate and value the connections we have. It’s good from time to time to have those connections acknowledged and celebrated. It’s good from time to time to have those connections tested for strengthening. It’s good from time to time to have those connections stretched not to cause pain, but to inspire growth.
All of that, as long as you keep in touch.
