Excerpt from Chapter 3 “Defining Relationships”

In the simplest terms, a relationship is comprised of any interaction between two living beings. We form relationships with our parents, siblings, friends, co-workers, lovers, pets, the clerk at our local gas station, and for most people a higher power. It is not the subject of the relationship that defines our interaction, but rather the emotions and behaviors that accompany that connection.

It is human nature to have the need to define, quantify and explain everything in our universe, but relationships often defy explanation. Perhaps this is because relationships are ever changing, evolving entities that often, seemingly, take on a life of there own.
