distance really isn't the operative factor--it's laws of physics
(current passing through an electric field at a vector perpendicular to

This simple thing has not been that easy to learn.  It certainly went

everything I had been taught since I was very young.  I thought people
listened 
only because they were too timid to speak or did not know the answer.  A
loving 
silence often has far more power to heal and connect than most well
intentioned words.
