The Blind Men and the Elephant

The Blind Men and the Elephant, still so relevant today in relationships, communication, conflict resolution, co- parenting, separation. Perspective and context, try to put the same energy into understanding others as you do in explaining your own.

This ancient Indian parable, most famously written by John Godfey Saxe, is a brilliant piece to ponder.

"And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong,
Though each was partly in the right
And all were in the wrong!"
