There is a rule in sailing where the more maneuverable
ship should give way to the less maneuverable craft.
I think this is sometimes a good rule to follow in human relationships as well.

    Thanks Grace, in this fast paced, crazy world (just got back from LA) people barely take time to notice if the person ‘holding them up’ is challenged with maneuvering their craft!~
    this is a good mantra for the upcoming holidays.
