Navigating through troubled times is often fearful, terrifying, and disappointing. We want to make decisions that move us along, but we are also fearful about making the wrong choice. Especially, during this pandemic, we are fearful about our lives being touched by others, but with a deep desire to stay connected. These meditations trace the emotional upheaval of our struggle as well as provide hopeful solace in the struggle itself. Philosophers, sociologists, psychologists, spiritual advisors, and theologians are useful sources for this journey. In my endeavor to clarify and advance the singularity of our struggle, I have gleaned from many of those listed above. But most of all I have endeavored to dive into my own vulnerability, connecting myself to the human struggle for security and love.

There are factors that orchestrate our behavior, our choices, and ultimately our destiny. These factors very often go unseen and undetected and yet they push and drive us without our conscious permission. The individuals that make up our personal community are also subject to this dynamic. The Bible uses a notion to define our circle “Two will not be together unless they agree” (paraphrased).

This book will give insight into the driving elements that not only create the character and purposes of the people around us; it will also explain why we are friendly or associated with those in our lives.

Are you sure that the people we socialize with, date, and marry are the people who presented themselves? What you see is not always what you get. Some people have unspoken agendas and their behaviors are telling us something.

Revealed in this writing is the how and why we stumble into the minefields of relational horrors.
