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.

What a great phrasing! The elderly, the pregnant woman, the chair-bound, so many are less maneuverable . . . such care, such kindness in one simple sentence. Lovely!
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.
I sometimes forget, in my focus on the ways I’m challenged in maneuvering around this culture that’s often not designed for me, that I may still be more agile than others. It’s humbling, for sure.
