In our house we have only one rule “no fighting in the kitchen “ which is a throwback to many communities where tussling and wrestling and dance battles were so prevalent that it seriously impeded the cooking and cleaning of the hearth. I’ve often considered how funny it is that we have one token rule that’s playful and actually enjoyable to be called out on. But it reminds me how that’s possible, like what actually allows such harmony and flow. I think of all the work to deeply nourish the relationships within the house, to ourselves, each other and the shared spaces. Relationships that are organisms, alive and responsive to the emergent wisdom not to arbitrary logic codes. I appreciate this rich portrait of an organism that seems quite in love with Love 💕
