"The search for understanding comes naturally to us, but it’s effortful as well." - This is where it all clicked for me, in realizing that part of this understanding-game is inherent and natural but the other side of it is empathetic listening and the intent to a level playing field. I naturally saw the waterfall after reading your first paragraph and therefore I understood the reference to the mist in your final paragraph.. But I could have easily let my imagination be lazy and I wouldn't have connected as deeply as I could've. And I'm sure I'm lazy like that in many other instances, but this piece warranted my full attention and now the mist covers us both. Thank you.
