Connections are not easy to maintain--not in university loyalties, friendships, families and neighborhoods. It takes overlooking stuff and getting over stuff and putting stuff back together when things are in a shambles. It might not even be worth the effort. So why waste your time and energy by even trying?
I was reminded of this yesterday when someone said to me: "No one can fix things because there was never enough mortar in the relationships to hold us together. We thought there was but we were fooling ourselves. Pollyannas!"
Check out the mortar in your relationship bricks! Is it worth repairing, adding more sand and lime and mending the damage? Isn't it ironic that mortar is also a weapon?
