A different perspective can help the relationship grow.July is an odd-numbered month. Other odd months share a rhythm of acting, beginning and reaching outward: what we call resonance. With even months, different ways of receiving and arranging things can become a source of inspiration. We call that a rival connection.
How does July’s deep reflection fit with the initiative of odd-numbered months?
Some people think deeply before acting; others act when they understand what matters. Similarity does not automatically make a connection good, or difference make it bad. Each person has a rhythm worth understanding.
