Sharing Space

We are always in situations when we share space with others.. Sharing space is a form of communication and one that deserves an emphasis in the true meaning of sharing. What I may think sharing is, may not match what an another person's belief about sharing is.. So what is the true meaning of sharing? I often try to equate it to proportion. Proportion: Pro-por-tion: To arrange the parts of whole, so as to be harmonious. We share space with our families, friends, co-workers,communities,cities, countries,continents and ultimately with The Earth. Sharing starts with one self. If we learn to be good to ourselves emotionally, mentally and physically then we can share with others in a healthy way because we know what the meaning of being good is..In this day and age most people have information about what is healthy and what is not. Balance is always important, proportion. In sharing one can be alone and with company at the same time. One does not have to be totally alone to have peace and one does not have to be always in company not to feel alone. Creating healthy boundaries is important when learning how to share. Boundaries create infrastructure. There is a difference between a boundary and a limitation. Limitations create a feeling of resistance and/or invasion. A boundary provides a defined line that prevents invasion or isolation. How many times do we invade ourselves when we feel invaded? How many times do we isolate ourselves when we feel overwhelmed? Learning how to create proper boundaries through communicating our needs and finding ways to create balance in our lives is the key to harmony. We all deserve to belong and most importantly we all deserve to FEEL we belong...
