I love this ijourney posting. Definitely my favorite. So important in todays age of mobile devices and multitasking. I realise that it is very easy to be present without an agenda and give my full attention when I am meeting someone for the first time. However, once I think I "know" :) someone, I tend to assume more and react more. Attunement becomes a little difficult :)

I loved the question posed: "But what portion of our time, strength and love must we give to each of these?"
This is a balancing act I need to learn how to do this.
Right now, my way of balancing is, switching between phases of giving too much and then becoming selfish for some time :) Finding the right balance will be very helpful.
