It is my turn to say I concur. I also feel that a new
relationship is taking place, although I don't know how to
explain what I sense is coming to existence. Not necessarily this
transition is discontinuous, such as a leap or a jump, but we are
in transition to something new it feels. "New" is not necessarily
"better", though. We will see whether it is "good" or "bad" when
we get there. All I am hoping is that "we" can give it a push in
such direction that when the instability is over and a new
equilibrium is reached, where we land for the most is more
"pleasant" than it is now.
Best,
Sabri
